CRASHINGLY BEAUTIFUL, PART ONE

“That’s the big question, the one the world throws at you every morning. “Here you are, alive. Would you like to make a comment?”
Mary Oliver


I just got Netflixs at home, and the first Documentary I looked at was Carl Sagans 13 part series called "COSMOS". It holds up very well even after 25 or more years.
""What an astonishing thing a book is. It’s a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and you’re inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, an author is speaking clearly and silently inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people who never knew each other, citizens of distant epochs. Books break the shackles of time. A book is proof that humans are capable of working magic."
Carl Sagan

(with brightness of peace)

all places

yes is a world

& in this world of

yes live

(skillfully curled)

all worlds

Oh, hey Luke!
I want you to know that down at the NA group one of the things we say is that "the true measure of our recovery is in the daily maintenance of our spiritual condition"

Thank you Luke, for being part of my recovery.
