It's no secret that one of my great heroes is Carl Sagan. In a minor tribute I've chosen to depict him on the side of my helmet; the thing that protects my mind each day on my way to my favorite place.
Even though he died 14 years ago he has become a mentor to me and I can think of no better sigil to accompany me each day It was he who introduced me most formally to the virtues and beauty inherent in a scientific world view. I think of him as a contributing architect in the ongoing construction of my mind. His concepts have filled my imagination with wonders and tools that inform my perspective like a polished lens.Tune in on Thursday for more art and words- there are sure to be some of both!
Though this is quite old, I must say that it is brilliant in explanation, inspiration and execution.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I love Carl Sagan and bikes. A pairing seemed inevitable in retrospect.
