I've been here for about seventeen days now, that's long enough for me to have met a few of you, reconnected with some of you from my own world and reached out to a few others; but in those seventeen days I've also seen a number of new people show up frightened, disorientated and alarmed. Some of them children, some of them who have no friends here and no faces they recognise.
I know that as we all forge ahead in this place, it's at the forefront of our minds to find out who is causing this, who is responsible and how to set things right, but in the meantime, let's not forget how important it is to work together. To welcome and support each other -- so if you see someone who is lost, help them. If you see someone in need of help -- don't think about why or about who they might be -- do it. We're a small community of strangers here, and we're not going to accomplish anything as long as that remains true. We're neighbours now, and we need to start acting like it, as best as we can.
There are many of here who come from troubled times and conflicting circumstances and no one understands that better than I do. Back home, the entire universe is about to be destroyed and that's something I'm going to have to deal with -- but for right now, this is our home, this is our lives and this is our immediate future. Lyndon B. Johnson once said "Yesterday is not ours to recover, but tomorrow is ours to win or lose." -- and I'm not about to lose another day. I'm not about to keep keeping for answers. I'm going to start finding them.
And I could use your help. Each and every one of you.
