Once we overcome our fear of being tiny, we find ourselves on the threshold of a vast and awesome Universe that utterly dwarfs - in time, space, and in potential - the tidy anthropocentric proscenium of our ancestors.
- Carl Sagan
I fall into an abyss, filled not with darkness, but with light,
And my mind reels, ablaze,
not with fear, but with a harmony
of Melancholy and Wonder,
Two lovers locked in an embrace.
Fate battles chance,
destiny fights meaning,
And as the titans wage their silent war,
Stars gasp their last, giving their all;
Soundless crescendos that will never be heard
but in the deep, muted rhythm of minds
soaring free, rid of shackles,
consecrated by rebirth.
