Thank you so much for sharing that Nimila. It really means alot to know the words are landing right and taking you somewhere. Those lines are my favourite too and for me, having a meaning beyond the story here.
The absence of return bit had me going... quiet, I should say, but in the most haunted way... cuz wow, that is such a brutal little turn you got there, Mark Sensei.
It is heartbreakingly quiet to realize that the hardest part of letting go isn't the distance we’ve traveled, but the moment we realize the world around us has stopped echoing back ✨
The absence of return line made me go a bit quiet... and then the light already old with the blue arriving late just finished the job. 🥹 Nuuu Sensei... I came in thinking Mars and got handed this clean cold ache that kept pressing harder the longer I read.
Thank you for sharing dear @Mondayswife!
Thank you for sharing @imi !
You have a way to transmit entire universes through your words, I always get transported somewhere else. Thank you 🤗🌿🌸
This one will stay with me a long time:
"but it wasn’t distance
it was the absence
of return"

It's such a little line Asuka, but it carries a lot of ache with it 😊

It is isn’t Brandi. When we look back, are others still looking towards us or has life moved on.
Thank you for sharing 💛

Aww Asuka!! There is a little bit of ache when you look back and see blue.
Could you see the Earth in the image?
Pale blue dot :)
There’s a finality to it.
Yes, definitely.
“The absence of return”. A deafening statement.
Thank you Christopher.
Mark this is so evocative and poignant with stunning imagery ♥️
Thank you! So pleased it reonsated with you and the imagery came through ♥️
That's a great journey's dream... Mars is truly spectacular... But that looking back... You're incredible💛💛

Thank you pm. Feels like a sort of melancholy deep inside us when we start to consider it?
Still reaching for the connection that doesn't return. Brilliantly put to words. <3
Thank you Petra!
I’ve always wondered what it might be like to travel to Mars, but maybe it’s not all that it’s supposed to be?
I must have missed something. I get cross-eyed reading at times. :)
heheh :)
“the absence of return” stayed with me.
Thank you Diana!. There’s something about not being able to return that has a certain ache with it, maybe.
