Late Night Rambling, Vol. 13: Existential - 1/17/12

"There's a universe in every one of us. We are microcosms of existence; the universe and nebulae are macrocosms. Just as there are suns and moons, there are mothers and fathers. A planet is a planet despite colors and rings; a human is a human, despite colors and features. Every second is an instant of creation and destruction. We are fortunate organisms to have consciousness to be aware of what's occurring, even if we aren't able to fully understand it all. Autonomy is our distinction, though it has become our bane. We choose not to concern ourselves with the symmetry that lies between the planes of our existence, but rather with the material (socioeconomic/political) differences and idiosyncrasies that make us one and the same. Galaxies are akin to our spirits and imaginations, yet we argue and quarrel over what we believe in; what is there to gain by overlooking our inherent divinity? No matter who or what created us, it is undeniable that there is a geometry to our existence, a vibration that runs through us all. In focusing on that, we will find a great deal of love and enlightenment, which are as necessary as sunlight and water to the photosynthesis of our minds and spirits, encouraging growth."

-A. Lewis
