You feel small but spiritually equal to this amazing creation.”In another, an eleven-year-old black African girl in a Sudan refugee camp was assaulted by seven Arab men. “Now her six-month-old boy sits on her knee. He smiles at people, but they don’t smile back.”“Science poems focus on that magic moment when, in one-thirtieth of a second, the universe exploded far out . . . and continues to expand … We value the dedication and zeal of science investigators who continue to explore nature and reveal the magic of our environment.”Robert Temple Frost was born in Denver and was raised in Denver and Colorado Springs.
