Quick steps or slow. On the ground, in the mud or in the snow. Bold steps ... towards the unknown. We are not alone. The sounds accompany us. Sounds of the Universe and the planets. The ancient Greek philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras spoke of the harmony of spheres. The spinning planets produce musical sounds that, because of their frequencies, we do not perceive. Sharp sounds, which we cause from the exploitation of the earth's resources but also of space's. One of them, the iron, * is the sixth most abundant element in the universe, formed after a series of chain reactions in supernova stars. When they erupt, their contents diffuse and reach the earth with meteorites. Iron meteorites are the most important form of formation and cause of metallic iron on the earth's surface. At the same time, iron is an element that is essential for all organisms as it participates in basic biological functions, such as photosynthesis and respiration. Man - host - although he belongs to nature, benefits from it without any return. He enjoys and at the same time suffers from his own achievements. The opportunity for purification - redemption, however, is before him. His decision ... will he be baptised again? This time with a new identity. As a kind and bright human being.
