Alex Petrov's Interests and Hobbies
The vastness of the heavens stretches my imagination--stuck on this
carousel my little eye can catch one-million-year-old light.
A vast pattern--of which I am a part--perhaps my stuff was belched
from some forgotten star, as one is belching there. [...]
What is the pattern, or the meaning, or the why?
It does not harm to the mystery to know a little about it.
For far more marvellous is the truth than any artists of the past
imagined.
