Within this universe so black and vast, speckled by stars, nebulas, planets, and all forms of energy and mass; how far from each other would you say we lie? Or is it closer than one might expect? Some might think it only a matter of meters, and some might say it is thousands of miles.

How does one traverse this seemingly endless void of space, illuminated by only the smallest specks of light and life, trickled along the weaving path of galaxies? Is it by faster-than-light-travel? A wormhole perhaps? A magical power? Or a rift between dimensions?

Would you believe it if you were told the answer to this question is both more simple and more complex than any of these options?

The true traversal along this pithy celestial fabric does not come in the form of locomotion, rocketing corporeal forms across the pit-stops of reality. It is, in fact, more subtle and yet simultaneously more intense.

For the real truth of this universe is not rendered unto us by the physicality of life, nor measured by the beating of the heart, nor even interpreted by the shocks along each neuron within the brain.

—It is a notion uniquely crafted to each soul's desire, which transcends all boundaries and barriers and brings us to where we truly belong...

So, with that in mind, you may find that this is a tale of one such longing soul, which found his way to where he belonged, with a little help from an unexpected place, of course.
