Our Reach

Heavens - Outer Space must be,
far beyond the imagination's
capacity to understand, much less
imagine, an infinitely vast place
that simply goes on forever, one
horizon mirrored in an unimaginably
onward revelation after another, at
the macro level, the stars and planets,
the constellations twinkling their
light in its dark vastness, gases swirling,
impulses whirling, the matter and
antimatter, natter of the Universe
unfolding endlessly.  And here we
are, infinitesimally less than
significant, with our human
impudence considering ourselves
somehow exceptional, littering the
atmosphere with our ambitious
mechanical probes, the boundless
ether with our electrical impulses,
our mind-numbingly trivial existence
in the amazingly colossal existence
of everything imaginable and an
unaccountable number of worlds
beyond our intelligence, our reach.
