Hello, Readers.
Eloise here,
reporting in from our oasis
we call Earth.
The blog title tonight
gives tribute to NASA Astronaut Victor Glover's
Easter night sentiments
to all of humanity.

For the Readers--
here are Victor Glover's words in typeface,
interspersed with shots from the oasis.
From Astronaut Glover when asked by a reporter if he wished to share any messages to the people back home on Earth:
"You know,
I don't have anything prepared.
I'm glad you brought that up though.
I think these observances are important.
And as we are so far from Earth
And looking back, you know,
at the beauty of creation,
for me,
one of the really important perspectives that I have up here
is I can really see Earth as one thing
and, when I read the Bible
and look at all the amazing things that were done for us,
whoever created it,
you have this amazing place,
this spaceship.
You guys are talking to us because we're in a spaceship
really far from Earth,
but you're in a spaceship called Earth
that was created to give us a place to live
in the universe,
in the cosmos.
I think maybe the distance we are from you
makes you think what we are doing is special,
but we are the same distance from you.
And what I'm trying to tell you,
just trust me
you are special
in all of this emptiness.
This is a whole bunch of nothing
this thing you call the universe.
You have this oasis,
this beautiful place we get to exist together.
I think as we go into Easter Sunday
thinking about,
you know,
all of the cultures all around the world,
whether you celebrate it or not,
whether you believe in God or not,
This is an opportunity for us to remember where we are,
who we are,
and that we are the same thing
and that we have got to get through this together.
Standing applause, Astronaut Glover!
