There are moments when the noise gets so loud, the only sane thing to do is step all the way back — way back — and just watch. That's what this one is about. Leif, my little nisse, has made it to the moon. He's found himself a bench up there, sat down, and is gazing at the Earth hanging in the dark like a blue lantern. His red hat tilts upward as if he's still taking it all in. And written across the stars: 2025. A new year, a new vantage point. Sometimes you need a little lunar distance to remember how beautiful — and how small, and how precious — this whole spinning thing really is. Step back. Breathe. Look.
