为记录风景拾荒者的行踪和皓首穷经的历程，每月选一张手机自拍的图和这一年在读的书。评论权当微博用，偶尔发发神经，即便是无聊的爪印也是留给未来自己的礼物呢……

♡年度最佳照片入围2024[?]万物有理


2024-12夜空里星光闪闪，寒地上阳光最暖。这里你须瞪大眼睛审视太阳，我紧闭双目寻找向北的星···“若将你内在的东西活出来，它们必能拯救你。若不把你内在的东西活出来，它们必将毁灭你。”

2024-11“满地都是六便士，他却抬头看见了月亮。”和那甘愿虚度的人生相比，见过风雪的玫瑰即便永远无法绽放又何谈不幸呢~~~

2024-10人生一世，草木荣枯，无非是春风一走、秋风一过。如果说四季有常是天命，而无常的风就是时运了······

暗淡蓝点

This is what Carl Sagan said about the photo:

1990年卡尔·萨根力排众议，让正在远离地球的旅行者1号（Voyager 1是美国宇航局研制的一艘无人外太阳系空间探测器，于1977年9月5日发射）调转镜头，回望地球和太阳系，于是就有了改变很多人世界观的那张照片，地球是一个暗淡蓝点。

Consider again that dot. That’s here. That’s home. That’s us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every “superstar”, every “supreme leader”, every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there — on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.
Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.

The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand.
It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we’ve ever known.

— as mentioned in Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space (1994)
人类历史上的每一个圣人与罪犯，都在这里，一粒悬浮在阳光中的微尘之上。
