Perpetuum 1/1 #1

It can be easy to forget how vast the universe is and how many potentialities there are for each of us.

In these moments, we realize that there is only one edition of life, and that we are all a part of it.

It is a reminder that, despite our daily struggles and the sense of isolation that can come with them, we are always united by a constant flow of energy. Despite the single edition of our lives that we've come to know, we are so much more.
