What were you doing eight years ago today?

The sun's photons colliding with you at this moment started their journey all those years ago. They were jettisoned into space and watched the Earth rotate nearly 3,000 times. They witnessed the calm and chaos, the births and deaths, the peace and violence, the songs and silence.

They witnessed your struggles and triumphs. They saw you stumble and grow. They were steadfast in their trip to meet you as you welcomed new friends and lost touch with old ones. As you made tough decisions and, at other times, threw caution in the wind.

Now they're here for their chance encounter with you. To nourish you and light the way. To energize you before they slip away.

What will you be doing eight years from now, today?
