Visions of A Galactic Civilization

Will People of Earth Make the Cut?

Here’s a thought to ponder. Thousands of sperm cells make the swim to fertilize a single egg. Thousands of salmon are hatched, swim to the sea, but only a few will survive and then return to the headwaters to propagate. An oak tree drops thousands of acorns, only a few will become trees. Nature seems to work that way, creating an excess, but only a few will make the cut.

With that in mind… there are billions of stars throughout the galaxies, only a few will have planets that will sustain life at all, much less intelligent life with technological capabilities.   Very few of the planets with intelligent life will manage their natural abundance, rise above selfishness, and one day, become part of a galactic civilization.  Question is… will the people of Earth make the cut? ~ Larry Capra

His bio on his website simply reads: Joshua Mays is a self taught painter, muralist, and illustrator who currently resides in Oakland California.

Visit Joshua’s website or Instagram to see more of his work.
