I wonder if sparks dream of becoming stars
and if sparks dream, I wonder if they know what fools they are.
This is a quote from a song, as I recall it. I am sorry that I don’t know the songwriter. I like this lyric because it is a profound thought for a song. A spark exists for seconds and a star warms an entire solar system for millions of years. It makes the listener think about his own aspirations and the great odds against him. We are tiny dust mites hurling through space on a tiny spec of dust. Some question whether we even matter.
