Every night that I went out to the shorefront, letting the soft rush of wave overcome my bare feet, soothing and reassuring like the coo of a mother over a baby fading into slumber, I saw it - a light, barely flicking and catching my eye off in the distance of the cosmos. It overcomes my being and pulls me in closer like sirens to the men on ship of Odysseus.
It begs of me to consider and internalize the vast nothingness between me and her, and the uncertainty of life itself. Could there be others roaming the nothingness with us - like pearls lost in a beach of sand; beauty freckled across the cheek of the universe. There is not a chance that we are the only ones in the eternal nothingness.
The vastness of space picks no favorites and is speckled with life across lands on planets, orbiting massive life producing stars which hold themselves the chemical components to life. They are the center of solar systems of which there are more in the Milky Way galaxy than there are grains of sand on planet earth.
These galaxies are moving organisms that are expanding, shrinking and flowing into one another as molecules of H20 flow around one another in a body of water. The cosmos is a liquid who’s molecules are galaxies - with properties greater and more complex than that of the compounds that make up the basic structures of life and mass within one planet.
