Our planet may be smashed, it is true, and one day our beautiful sun will die

BUT….

The universe has a nature…… something like human nature.

Its nature is to combine, and to build, and to become more complex. It always does this. If the circumstances are right, bits of matter will always come together to make more complex arrangements. 

This universe that we know, began in almost absolute simplicity, and it has been getting more complex for about fifteen billion years. In another billion years it will be still more complex than it is now.

It is moving toward …something. 

It is moving toward some kind of ultimate complexity. 

With white wings we flutter toward the possibility of attainment,

our ideas about time passing feel different depending on 

What we choose to seek, 

What we choose to find.

We are at once the entire universe and the moment before anything existed.

–

Inside us is the second before thought, before action, before the pinprick of desire that precipitates action.

We are everything and nothing in the same split-instant.

We might not get there. An atom of hydrogen might not get there, or a leaf, or a man, or a planet might not get there, to that ultimate complexity. But we are all moving towards it—everything in the universe is moving towards it.

We are, ourselves, expressions of that process. Our bodies are the children of all the suns and other stars that died before us, making the atoms that we are made of.
