I think everyone has some type of crutch they turn to when they are under extreme stress. I too have mine and beyond the amazing support I get from my wife and kids, I find peace and comfort in watching Cosmos. Ironically, when I was a kid, I could never sit still long enough to actually sit through the entire presentation when it first aired in the 70’s. But now, when life stresses begin to wear me down, I frequently seek solace in the calm reassuring voice of Carl Sagan. He reminds me of why I keep fighting to claim my free time to pursue astronomy. Why I want to obtain a degree in physics and astronomy. Carl, wherever you are, thank you for all you did and the mental fortress of solitude you provide me in repeatedly watching Cosmos.
