Iris

So.

I'm happy.

This may come as something of a surprise.

(It did to me.)

Eden's coming to see me. She might stay with me for a long time.

There are other things too, difficult to explain.

I don't understand why this comes and goes so quickly, like a bullet train changing stations.

Can you imagine what that must feel like?

The sky's not even the limit, any more.

People have walked on the moon.

The black hole at the centre of the Milky Way has a density that's less than air.

What other mysteries is this universe concealing from us?

what else have we yet to discover
