Across the Fog-Gray Sea
- ACROSS THE FOG-GRAY SEA - A black ink and gray pencil drawing on an 11 x 14 size vellum paper. It appears in, "Dragon Magazine, Feb.1987".
This drawing, though it was done to illustrate a story in a magazine, represents to me, the courageous spirit abiding in the souls of those few humans in each generation we call, the "Explorers".
From the very beginning of our history, there were brave men who left their caves to see what was on the other side of the hill. They built canoes to see where the river would take them. They climbed mountains to find new lands. They built wooden ships and crossed oceans to find new continents. They lowered themselves down into dangerous depths of the oceans, they designed a machine that took them to the moon!
The danger was always enormous, there was always a devastating price to pay. There is no doubt in my mind that explorers like them, born to each generation will someday lead the way to the stars. We are a species created to explore, in a Universe that was created to be explored.
Some time in the future, the exact time unknown, our Sun will no longer be able to sustain life on earth. But long before that time comes, human explorers will already have left Earth in machines of unimaginable design, to find a place in the universe for mankind to endure. The first explorers who lead the way into deep space will bring immortality to mankind, we will no longer be dependent on any single star for energy, or any one planet for food.
There is no end to the Universe, there is no limit to the numbers of stars in the Universe. There will always be a need to explore, and there will always be those few uniquely brave men and women we call explorers, who will lead the way. Forever.
