Since I was very young
I've been fascinated
by the vastness of the cosmos
and by teeny tiny worlds.

Not interested enough to study
quantum physics mind you,
but awed.
By the mastery,
the mystery,
and the creative genius,
of so many lovely
galaxies and subatomic particles.

When I was seven or so
and sleepless in the wee hours,
the terrifying thought that before creation
there existed nothingness
which my mind could not paint a picture of
kept me awake with tears.
Even dark spaces out there are
SOMETHING,
I reasoned...
so what is
NOTHING?
red blood cells
Now that I am older,
still I occasionally shudder.
What is nothing?
What is antimatter?
What is the purpose of all the space in between
heavenly bodies and molecules?
Thus, the mystery.
Do I sound like Miss Spiritual Fancypants or what?
Not to worry. Blood cells above?
For me, they bring to mind blood and vampires
and hence, Robert Pattinson.
See?
My ADD superficial side allows me to
deviate quickly from philosophy.
Let's face it.
The Brit gives good face.

I think it's helpful at times
to ponder our place in this universe.
human egg
Are you small and insignificant?
Demini River - NW Brazil
Or are you magnificent and
at the center of it?
mosquito heart
Could you be both?
Ghadamis River - Libya
Or is everything deep within you,
sulfur compound
everything deep within the earth,
Great Sandy Desert - Australia
and everything deep beyond the galaxies,
equally magnificent?
Peace to you right where you are.
