Picture two windows .. hanging in space before you. There is a candle in each window, with but a subtle difference. In one, the candle is on the inside of the window with you. This is your life. Inside your safe and warm room, illuminated from within, looking out only occasionally. Your room is your life, boxed into four walls.. Now look at the other window .. this is what a planetarium will do for you .. the candle is still on the inside .. but YOU are on the outside, glancing back in. You are now free to look up and see not merely what the small window showed you from your room, you are free to see all of the cosmos. Which will you choose?
To stay in and look out? Or to go out and look up?
