Lighting our torches in this universe

Note: I selected this image before these torches took on a much different meaning. I am leaving this image in place because we truly cannot know where the future will lead from where we are in a moment. All we can do is do our best to keep working towards a brighter future. I still stand by the message in this post and believe in its message today, almost exactly five years later, on the evening of January 16, 2022.
