... Alive in body, spirit and mind today,
I entertain the incredible cosmological history and
complexities of scientific reality.
I take this moment in time to consider the properties
and credibility of shopping malls, Amazon, Ben and
Jerry’s ice cream, rubber bands, the Civil War, Mt.
Rushmore, The Immaculate Conception, mythologies
and fairy tales, the microbial bacteriological essence or
otherwise pissant relativity of the humanity, you and me.
To even consider the existence, the evolution and relevance
of such things blows my friggin’ mind. Here we all are, galaxies,
solar systems, planets and stars, you and I alike set sail, propelled
by the Dark Energy from our Big Bang Beginnings, completely
engulfed by the Deep Dark Matter of the eternal unseen.
And all along, and for what it’s worth, there have been those
who believe that a PhD, fortune and fame, Botox, an AR 15 or
a benevolent creator would save them.
