My Sky
 |
| From phys.org |
The sky loves darkness. Dark energy
and dark matter constitute 95% of the universe. What we call normal matter is
just 5%. It is absurd that 5% becomes normal merely because 95% is mystery.
95% is mystery in the cosmos. How
much of me is mystery to you? 95% of you is mystery to me. We didn’t care to
know each other. Instead we send rockets to penetrate the mysteries of each
other. Innuendos and backbiting and what not.
We keep sending satellites into the
sky’s mystery. Because we don’t know to appreciate mystery. We can’t let the
other be the other. We have to convert the other into ours. One earth, one family,
one future.
For what? For whom?
From Sputnik 1 of 1957, the first
artificial earth satellite, to Jan 2022, the earth’s scientists have sent about
5400 satellites into the sky. They are all there revolving round the earth even
threatening to cause traffic jam in the space. 3450 of these belong to the most
developed country, the USA. They are all flying in rather low orbits. They are
blocking the sky beyond, blocking the infinite. Blocking the charms of mystery.
It is not one earth, one family, one future
that I want. I want the infinite beyond the satellite-strewn sky of the earth.
I want the 200 billion galaxies and the endless stars and other heavenly bodies
there. I want the dark space there. The infinite space. The endless mystery.
The heart of diversity.
My sky is not about oneness. It is about
the many, very many, the infinite.

I sense layers of thoughts behind this post. But i'll just talk about the space bit. What an irony that we've sent satellites above to understand the beyond but can no longer spot it in this deluge! Everything is a threat these days, can a meteor drop and just finish us already! its not like we're going to see it coming ;)
ReplyDeleteYes, Careena, I intentionally made it multilayered - like the cosmos, like you and me.

ReplyDelete... meanwhile, mysteries continue to be revealed in the very depths of our oceans, right here on the planet that spawned us... mystery is there to keep us occupied, it seems... YAM xx
No doubt, there will always be new mysteries to engage us.
DeleteThe numbers are scary. But it would be a shame if we were not a part of that threat wouldn't it? 😉
ReplyDeleteYup. We need to keep up with the Joneses.
