It makes me feel deeply peaceful to think of the Voyager probes - now 19 and 21 billion kilometres from earth - carrying messages of love and humanity into the cosmos, so August 20 has become a special day to me, my unofficial celebration, “Voyager Day” (and a remembrance of what inspired my song, And Still We Move).
