Now that we know the orbits of all the stars, we can see that many nearby stars come from far away and are just transiting near us now.

I live my life in growing orbits which move out over this wondrous world, I am circling around God, around ancient towers and i have been circling for a thousand years. And I still dont know if I am an eagle or a storm or a great song.

I demonstrate by means of philosophy that the earth is round, and is inhabited on all sides; that it is insignificantly small, and is borne through the stars.

The temple is nearby, God is far away.

So long, I replied, may we all have one good flight before we rest among flowers and the orbits of hungry worms.

They're angry and they're lashing out at whatever's nearby.
