The Here And Now

Awe and incredulity. For how can
the human mind despite its elasticity
and willingness to devour a vast multitude
of facts and data, eager to consume new
scientific findings possibly digest such
infinitely vast numbers, concepts and
visualizations of a time before time
in the vastness of the universe when
the massively heated planet we call our
home boiling in its liquid metallic and
gaseous state of becoming from its
collision creation beginning to host the
most primitive of life forms, existing
merely to exist, a cauldron of experiment
where evolution speaks in volumes of
billions of years to finally produce the
creatures that we are, populating a space
and a minuscule place in the vastness of
time and an endless universe, using our
creative intelligence to probe our very
existence while the purpose of it all
simply eludes understanding as we
impute what we perceive as mysterious
and unknowable to the giant hand of a
creator tenderly gathering gases and
chemicals to formulate the here and now.
