Overview
All times they fall on the earth and will be swallowed by it. Wind and weather do their own work to change the newcomer in such a way, that it will merge with its vicinity. Resistance seems to be futile. Always the meadow and the forest overgrew the ground, which was now somewhat differently. We eat even later, what was once a stone. And look at ourselves, what we are, then we recognize in amazement that even we are not of this world. Everything we ever could hold in our hands and possibly ever will get in our hands, all that is star dust from long-forgotten times. Rejected matter, which is merged in a just no more existing star. Only that end was our birth. It's just amazing that even those blackish envoys from the sky can remind us where we came from and how far we have come. What it is? It’s a meteorite that had fallen from the sky, like a god’s messenger coming with shine and thunder. For eons on its journey, it not only comes from a place that we don’t know, but also from a time that we like to rediscover.
