Had she held a mirror up to her face she would have seen more emptiness, for she was travelling slightly beyond the speed of light itself[2] . At exactly 50,000 light years from where she began she decided to create the Heavens and the Earth. From her flesh, she formed the rivers, lakes and seas.

A combination of factors, made acute by the recent devastating budget cuts , has led me to feel that in the present circumstances, I am unable to realise my great dreams for the company.
