A Radical Corpuscle

Freight and Cargo, that's all we are, winter ballast for the systems we inhabit. Two extremes are that we were created for the Universe or that the Universe was created for us. The truth of course is at the neutral apex on which these two cosmological views are balanced. We think we are stamped with destinations but we do not understand the words or even the script that these instructions are written in - and so we spend our spare energy after eating and shelter, on putting meaning to them, the addresses of our future. Sometimes we think we have it all decoded, bringing the meaning we have found out into the open for everyone else to see and also believe. And humans die when they do not agree on the answer. And really the beauty of it all is in the search, the hard structures, the soft electromagnetics we pump out to keep ourselves in touch, the deep knowledge we need to understand the universe from edge to shining edge, through all its curves built in with gravity and undiscovered particles.

From now until the edge of matter and space is the thrill of understanding.
