Fascinating idea of having being created from stardust (especially fascinating that my right hand is from other stardust than my left, explains a lot :-), but though it is true that the universe writes the more important or impressing stories - and that it is important to leave one's room and check - I am glad that there are poets and novelists, who bring a bit of starshine into our ordinary life.
Agreed. And musicians too. The sounds of the universe silently waiting in strings. I sense the enthusiasm of certain scientists is also a poetry. Carl Sagan and Patrick Moore are a couple that spring to mind.
My 5000 steps made me consider the religious theory that you can't look at the face of God. I concluded that it originated with pre- stone age people going blind looking directly at the sun, the first 'known' God to be 'worshiped'.

Fascinating. So true and such a philosophy. Something to ponder on as you do those 5000 steps.

DeleteNow we know better and so we are 'only' metaphorically blind.
