The Center of the Universe

.

.

.

There exists a ginormous area so unfathomably (without fathom- repeat 'unfathomable' five times fast. I dare ya!) large that human beings call it "space".

It takes the moon and a whole ocean to erase your mere footprints on the sand.

Light has traveled nearly 93 million miles unobstructed, but it is deprived of reaching the ground in the final few feet by your shadow. 

The night sky is not a single moment. It's a mélange of time; billions of years in breadth. 

Plus, not all starlight 

is the same age, some of it is millions of years apart. Yet, you can enjoy a peaceful night and wish upon a shooting star. It is handed to you on a silver platter. 

The world is literally revolving around you. How's that for being the center of attention?

  • "A silent conversation" . Wow! I just got chills. Thanks, dear.

  • The universe is one being, everything and everyone is interconnected through an invisible web of stories. Whether we are aware of it or not, we are all in a silent conversation.
  • Thank you for your kind words, dear RK. 

  • Thanks. 

  • I have some lack with literature, poems anf metaphors. If it is deditaced to your friend, then it changes meaning.
    And sad to hear about your passed friend. Rest in peace
  • P.S. Just to be clear, when I wrote,"The world is literally revolving around you.", I did not mean from a scientific point of view. It was merely a 'hang in there' sort of thing.

    Dear Stranger in the night,

    Actually, I lost one of my best friends. He took his life. I just wanted this to be a reminder for those who are on the verge of doing something that is going to hurt them and their loved ones, "Every one of us is special. There are people who care for us, who love us. Even Mother Nature, hence the name."

    I'm not sentimental. I know there are some people who "pollute, demolish, etc.". Please rest assured that I'm not one of them. Nor am I "arrogant".

  • I want to develop my ideas here:
    Actually it is arrogance to think Universe revolves around us. Long time ago people thought Sun revolves around Earth, and it was ultimate ignorance.
    So, telling things like this, people raised their arrogance and ignorance, to justify their actions on Earth: pollution, demolition, etc. People think they can do anything they want, cuz Universe was created for them.
    In fact, whats going on in Universe are reminder, that we are just little piece of dust in Universe. Little piece of dust with arrogance wider than Universe.
    P.s. I dont mean you are arrogant, just thinking like this can lead to it:) pardonne moi
