In pondering
the unimaginable,
Einstein gave
us the greatest of
all answers;
that there are more
questions
that need to be asked.
Satisfaction
is only derived from
the truest
stripping down of all
the
unnecessary details of a thing
and analyzing
its essence unencumbered.
In that bare
bones exposure, we can see
the
mechanisms which drive our quests
for a clearer
understanding of the universe,
and of
ourselves.
It is
singular in us to want to know
what it is
about us that makes us.
We want to
be stardust and something
more, simultaneously.
Each beat of
our heart’s echoes subtly
through the incomprehensible
vastness
of infinity,
through the curvature of Space
Time, and
through each other.
The science
of the universe is
the science
of our hearts,
our hearts quicken
with each new
discovery
that brings us all closer together.
It is in the
asking, “What if?” or,
“Why not?”,
that we can begin to
unravel theories
laid out for us by
some
singular genius.
I want to
know your heart just as
deeply as I
want to know why light
bends and
time literally skips a beat
in weaker
gravitational fields.
I have more
questions than answers,
I am
uncomfortable in the unknowing
but excited
by the prospects of learning
something I
never knew.
A Unified
Theory of why I love,
why we lose,
why two people can
create
something from nothing,
why we sing
the blues.
We’re all
just stardust,
forced
together through electrical
attraction,
made to ponder the infinite
and the end,
with so many questions left.
