Yet across the gulf of space, minds that are to our minds as ours are to those of the beasts that perish, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic, regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans against us.
H.G. Wells, The War of the Worlds

Perhaps I am a man of exceptional moods. I do not know how far my experience is common. At times I suffer from the strangest sense of detachment from myself and the world about me; I seem to watch it all from the outside, from somewhere inconceivably remote, out of time, out of space, out of the stress and tragedy of it all. This feeling was very strong upon me that night. Here was another side to my dream.
H.G. Wells, The War of the Worlds

Suddenly, like a thing falling upon me from without, came fear.
H. G. Wells, The War of the Worlds

A few minutes before, there had only been three real things before me--the immensity of the night and space and nature, my own feebleness and anguish, and the near approach of death.
H.G. Wells, The War of the Worlds

dead!-slain by the putrefactive and disease bacteria against which their systems were unprepared...slain, after all man's devices had failed, by the humblest things that God, in his wisdom, has put upon this earth...These germs of disease have taken toll of humanity since the beginning of things-taken toll of our pre-human ancestors since life began here. But by virtue of this natural selection of our kind we have developed resisting power; to no germs do we succumb without a struggle-By the toll of a billion deaths man has bought his birthright of the earth, and it is his against all comers-For neither do men live nor die in vain.
H.G. Wells, The War of the Worlds

Time, Hans Zimmer

Unusual but very apropos salute to all veterans who have fought for freedom John.
Wonderful creation that makes me feel as if I'm moving in slow motion.
Thanks for your service as well.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
