because we’re curious,
and curiosity keeps
leading us down new paths.

70. Dear Moon,
I admire you so much. Your complete lack of water is
something that I can only aspire to. My humidity is rarely
lower than 5%. You force all visitors to adapt to you, just
like I do. My animals grow large ears, sleep under rocks,
and travel at night just to survive. Your barren and open
landscape is a true inspiration, especially the Lunar Maria –
once thought to be a sea, like my own Great Sand Sea.
Keep it dry and barren!
Yours,
The Sahara Desert

71. Dear Meteorite,
I want you to know that we were
meant to be together. I know that
you and I are from the same place,
although I was more successful on
crashing into Earth. But my love for
you is burning, literally, I’m on fire!
I’m entering the atmosphere and
I’m slowly burning up.
