That's a very powerful picture.  It fits so well with how everything 
feels right now.

We've looked now, for five brief years, into a Universe of immense power
and heart, the source of which is in the very soul of our Great Maker. 
We've been drawn toward that vision and united by it.  We've come here to
understand the creative process you've used to bring us that vision.  And
now, we stand near the edge. 

We know that all too soon, you will take your leave of this forum and that
we will be poorer for that loss.  We don't begrudge you that personal
space, we owe you that and more for the story you spun for us; but we will
spend a time feeling that loss keenly. 

To paraphrase G'Kar (and yourself):

"All around us, it was as if the universe were holding its breath. 
Waiting... All of life can be broken down into moments of transition or
moments of revelation. This had the feeling of both..." 

That's the feeling I'm overwhelmed with lately when I think about the last
five episodes.  I look forward to Crusade and the movies...  but nothing
will ever fill the particular spot in my heart that these first five years
earned. 

Thanks Joe, for everything,
Mara

it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain."   -- G'Quon

Thank you...as someone will note later this season, the part of me that is
going will very much miss the part of you all that is staying.
