Flowing down the river of stars, the blue and green sphere makes its journey across the landscape of space.
The life on the sphere has no idea how lucky they are to be alive.
Many obstacles and forces try to stop the sphere from carrying its cargo, blowing harmful winds, sending debris from colliding objects, or even jets of light from exploding stars thousands of lightyears away.
But the sphere somehow manages to protect the creatures as it keeps moving, like a boat traveling the high seas.

By Edger Ai Bington Annette "Netty" Priestly was renowned for her perfectly coiffed hair, her tireless energy and her even more perfect scones (14 flavors). But Netty had a secret – a side buried beneath layers of sensible cardigans and bridge club gossip. It started innocently enough; a can of discarded spray paint left behind in her car by her most mischievous grandson. One rainy afternoon, while waiting for him at the bus stop, Netty found herself drawn to the blank canvas of a boarded-up storefront. In less than 2 minutes a whimsical flower sprouted under her hesitant hand, a splash of color in the dreary grey. Back in her car, she thanked God, grateful that she didn’t get caught.
