It was The year of Twenty Twelve and I had begun a journey with an unknown destination. I decided that wherever I ended up was where I was meant to be and that place was in The Rocky Mountains of Colorado. At this place I met people that asked me to read and study a collection of books pertaining to a wide variety of subjects centering on humanity, the environment and life in the universe as We know it, and what We do not know. Here I share the conversations and quotations from those people and those books that I think you will find interesting, to say the least. "Freedom is not a right in the universe. It is a privilege a luxury. Your values may argue with this but your expectations eventually must conform to the real circumstances of life. Individual freedom is extremely valuable but it is not guaranteed and you cannot claim it as a right." Life in The Universe, Marshall Vian Summers June 12, 2008 in Boulder, Colorado
