Conversation with God

Life is a cosmic grab-bag. At this moment, somewhere in the world, someone is losing a child, skiing down a mountain, having an orgasm, getting a haircut, lying on a bed of pain, singing on a stage, drowning, getting married, starving in a gutter. In the end, aren't we all that same person? An aeon is a thousand million years, and an aeon ago every atom in our bodies was a part of a star. Pay attention to me, God. We are all a part of your universe, and if we die, part of your universe dies with us.

~ Sidney Sheldon

Ode to Multiple Universes

I do have worlds enough and time

to spare an hour to find a rhyme

to take a week to pen an article

a day to find a rhyme for 'particle'.

In many worlds my time is free

to spend ten minutes over tea

And steal the time from some far moon

so words can take all afternoon,

Away beyond the speed of light

I'll write a novel in one night.

Aeons beckon, if I want 'em...

...but I can't have em', 'cos of Quantum.

~ Terry Pratchett

The Delight Song of Tsoai-Talee

I am a feather on the bright sky

I am the blue horse that runs in the plain

I am the fish that rolls, shining, in the water

I am the shadow that follows a child

I am the evening light, the lustre of meadows

I am an eagle playing with the wind

I am a cluster of bright beads

I am the farthest star

I am the cold of the dawn

I am the roaring of the rain

I am the glitter on the crust of the snow

I am the long track of the moon in a lake

I am a flame of four colors

I am a deer standing away in the dusk

I am a field of sumac and pomme blanche

I am an angle of geese in the winter sky

I am the hunger of a young wolf

I am the whole dream of these things

You see, I am alive, I am alive

I stand in good relation to the Gods

I stand in good relation to the earth

I stand in good relation to everything that is beautiful...

You see, I am alive, I am alive
