we do not
need revelation–
what will be
should be un
known, a mystery, like night
skies, like orbiting—
if we hold
the stars, the cosmos,
constant in
awe, we have
already seen both the be
ginning and the end

To live in awe of the mysteries of life is to feel the pulse of the universe. To accept and not resist the flow of possibilities. Lovely, erupting, celestial vision. ❤
