Winter Solstice Tithings
Collapsing Inwards
Family Friends Community,
Observing the boundless night sky.
An amateur desire from young times.
Stars, planets, galaxies, nebula, black holes; space.
I think about all of the nights looking outward into the blackening sky.
Waiting for the first planet or star to shine out.
Searching for wonder.
Feeding curiosity.
Cleaving outwards to find something
greater than me a speck on a blue planet.
Dependent on Earth Eyes,
Arecibo, Mauna Kea, Sutherland, San Agustin, Greenwich, Paranal
to be my eyes.
These days
there's been another collapse.
I posturing about,
hiding that I have succumbed to
Quarantine Inertia.
In shock as
Our earth eye
collapses
tearing it's man made sinews
falling to earth.
Unable to observe infinite space.
I grab at probabilities as I climb out of quarantine inertia.
Unable to see into the blackness.
Humankind is so so so
vulnerable.
I have to find inspiration without Earth Eyes ?!!
" It's an inside job."
Was Corona's reply.
Humans will build our Earth Eyes again.
We will feed curiosity.
Place wonder back in the top drawer of values.
Discover greatness in a young galaxy.
Respect our Wise Ones.
Walk with nature.
Nurture equilibrium.
And,
remember our collapsing inwards,
was not for naught,
when a Corona's
edict was
It's an inside job.
This Spacephile heartened to have all of you on this inward trek.
Onwards into the dark,
M
Meditate on this....stare at the sun without any harmful effects!
