It was clear to me over a decade ago that if any object could acquire a soul from the faith and love of humanity, it was Opportunity.
More to #WakeUpOppy: something I wrote 6 years ago, on mythology. A thread.
Opportunity, powered by love and gifts of encouragement, sacrificed to the beam, on an endless journey to keep the exit alive for humanity. Keep her journey going and she'll send back oracles. #SaveOppy
She's got the shrine of the Last Frontier and she's the patron of exceeding expectations. Her myth is about being sent to a star on a doomed mission, but she's still alive up there -- (#WakeUpOppy)
-- More alive than ever, eternally alive, powered by the human spirit, a standing story about a small thing becoming more than a machine. #WakeUpOppy
The dark side is that she also represents humanity's exit. As long as she's out there, we aren't trapped here. And there are those who would like us to be trapped here, who would like to destroy her. #WakeUpOppy
So yeah, #SaveOppy. Keep a vigil for her. Tell those stories. Remind your kids that out there is a little hunk of metal keeping the door open, and what keeps her going is us.
