Sugar, marmite, two fan heaters, label from the bottle


Just as sugar adds sweetness to a dish, love can be seen as a unifying force that transcends boundaries and connects beings from different realms or dimensions. Beauty goes beyond aesthetics. If extraterrestrial beings understand the soul or love differently, an ecological perspective encourages us to embrace and learn from various life forms. It invites us to approach the exploration of extraterrestrial environments with deep respect, accepting that each ecosystem is a precious aspect of a vast cosmic symphony. If distant souls had love and compassion as the source of their being, our affection would be imbued with a sweetness akin to a gentle touch of sugar on the tongue, a cosmic embrace in which empathy, tenderness and the exchange of sincere gestures would be interwoven with our extraterrestrial kin.
