Feel like you are floating

Imagine you are standing in space and the stars are below you by looking down through your feet at the stars in the night sky. This can be achieved in a number of ways.

Try putting your feet up on a picnic table, or lie in a hammock so that your feet are above your head. Sitting on a hill might also work. Stare at the stars for a while. Does it feel like you’re floating?

…like this place.

Snowflake rising

into the sun;

we dance like this place.

Everywhere you look, you’re looking back in time

When you look around at your everyday world, everywhere you look, you’re looking back in time.

When you look at the people next to you, you see them in the past, 1 billionth of a second in the past, to be exact.

That is how long it takes the light to reach you. Sunlight takes eight minutes to reach the Earth. So when you look at the sun, you are looking eight minutes into the past

The God particle

At the Heart of All Matter

The hunt for the God particle

By Joel Achenbach for National Geographic

“…A garishly lit tunnel ten feet in diameter curves away into the distance, interrupted every few miles by lofty chambers crammed with heavy steel structures, cables, pipes, wires, magnets, tubes, shafts, catwalks, and enigmatic gizmos.

This technological netherworld is one very big scientific instrument, specifically, a particle accelerator-an atomic peashooter more powerful than any ever built. It’s called the Large Hadron Collider, and its purpose is simple but ambitious: to crack the code of the physical world; to figure out what the universe is made of…”

Me reading from a couple of years ago

Everyday I have to sweep the floor…

A student comes to his master and says, “Everyday I have to sweep the floor, prepare my gruel and do laundry. How can I escape this routine?”
The master replies, “Sweep the floor. Prepare your gruel, and do your laundry.”

Poem: Another Angel

I am a ship to the moment.
Say this with me:
You are a king in front of a king,
and we are living, in part,
in a former kingdom.

And still, someone isn’t calling.
Has anyone been blessed?
The only animal that can cry is
stranded at the foot of a mountain.

Rise up and watch this!
Four streams;
one stopped;
three keep going.

Someone prayed for this day.
Five minutes until we lay hands.
Just a few minutes before we see
what’s coming around the mountain.
Somebody say what’s next!
