I feel the same sort of floating disconnected-ness when I am out back in the desert of Western Australia, and come across a rock shelter with paintings and obvious signs of working by human hands.

Its just such a humbling thing, to look at a piece of art that is 10's of thousands of years old, and realize that a human was once there, making it, just so that some day, a human would be there, looking at it.

What it would be to have a way to talk to these old humans and let them know just how inspiring their work turned out to be...

Would that we could have the same impact on humans a thousand years from now, ten thousand years from now. Hello, Future Human.
