Meditations upon and IMAX screening of "Hubble 3D":
Today I saw past the white clouds
I saw past the blue sky,
Past the formidable glow that cocoons the earth.
I witnessed the black airlessness that encapsulates our biosphere
And the paradoxical significant insignificance there within.
I swam amongst the stars for a brief moment of time
Breathlessly witnessing the birth, death and rebirth of cosmic motion.
The artistry with which the universe and all of its phenomena come in and out of being,
The seemingly fragile components that create such portentous events,
Equally beautiful and ominous.
Such abstraction humbles like no other.
I am left in wonder, in awe of creation,
Yet confounded by our willful disconnect to such splendour,
Fed by an anthropocentric understanding of existence.
Today I saw the being of nothingness and the nothingness of being.
