Stars

You think you can define me,
That I’m a tick in just one box,
Like my being is a door,
That a single key unlocks,

But let me tell you something,
I have the universe inside,
I hold an untamed ocean,
With a constant changing tide,

I’m home to endless mountains,
With tips that touch the sky,
Flocks of grand migrating birds,
And deserts harsh and dry,

I house the wildest rivers,
And a host of sweeping plains,
I feel in waves of sunshine,
Or in unrelenting rains,

Don’t tell me that you know me,
That “this right here is what you are”,
I am the universe in motion,
For I was born from stars…
– Erin Hanson


Happy Birthday Supernova, you’ve pulsated colorfully.
Time when you could have become old in an instance,
you turned your late 20s into your early 20s.
You died and you resurrected, more stronger-bolder-younger.
May this new year be more colorful.
May you send ripples through the cosmos, space, and time.
Vamos…!

Aren’t you born out of Timeless?

“You would measure time the measureless and the immeasurable.
You would adjust your conduct and even direct the course of your spirit according to hours and seasons.
Of time you would make a stream upon whose bank you would sit and watch its flowing.
Yet the timeless in you is aware of life’s timelessness,
And knows that yesterday is but today’s memory and tomorrow is today’s dream.
And that that which sings and contemplates in you is still dwelling within the bounds of that first moment which scattered the stars into space.

Wasting Time

“I waste a lot of time, too,” Sachar said. “I’ve always wasted a lot of time. In my twenties, I had some angst about this—about not having a real job, or really wanting one. I would play solitaire, and of course this wasn’t even on the computer, and I’d think, One day I’ll regret all this wasted time.” He put down his napkin and gestured toward the tablecloth, the Austin sun blazing through the windows. “But no, I don’t regret it at all!”
Louis Sachar
