From beyond, every piece of us builds a greater part. Individually, we seem all the same. Hollow and transparent, we don’t try to deceive. All of us wanted to be seen as the contingent we are.

I am the host. I decided to help those who came from elsewhere. I am surrounded by the thousands who came from beyond. I could not have anticipated their effect on my home.

Together, we made something new. We decided to work together and we created. We took what we knew and found we complimented each other. We wanted the world to know, so we illuminated it for all to see.
