Into the deep
To learn to appreciate
Every second
For what it is
Unique
Not a single second ever
Repeats
Not a single second ever
Repeats
Nothing is ever the same
The universe exists in a constant state of change
There is no way to hold a moment
No way to control it
It is randomness
Mixed with eternal novelty
Because everything we do is new
Every day you expand with the universe
A death and a birth with every breath we take
Free-will raging against fate
An open future
With so many ways to go
Nothing is set, yet
No, nothing is set
Yet
We seem to forget
That we are the world we are molding
We are the universe unfolding
What did Carl say?
“We are the universe experiencing itself.”
And what did Lee Cronin say?
“We are the universe forming a memory.”
We are life
Born to change
So cherish every moment
Because nothing ever stays the same
A constant flow of change
A leaf heading downstream until it gets to the end
Precious moments
Experienced by us
Stored in our souls
And there is still everything to be known
An eternal well of novelty doesn’t just live inside of you
It is you
Everything is precious
Every moment fleeting
Every heart beating has a different view than you do
That’s how everything can be new for everyone everywhere all at one
That’s how every perspective can be unique
It’s a perfect creation
This life thing
It’s an incredible experience
300 trillion cells in your body
On a 14.2 billion year old Earth
Life building
Assembling
Living
7.4 billion souls here with you
And you are just a little pinball
Getting hit over and over again
100 billion neurons firing in your brain every second
Look out to the night sky
And see a galaxy
Look within
And see
The same thing . . .
If you ever feel small
When you look back at it all
I want you to remember something
To an electron, you are a galaxy.
