“…there is in all the things of earth a hidden glory waiting to be revealed, more radiant than a million suns…”
– David Bentley Hart, The Doors of the Sea
When you peer into the night
and look upon those ancient lights
that have spanned the void
for untold ages to pour into your eyes,
some having bridged billions of years
since that primordial bang, remember –
you too are a portal to another universe;
fear no darkness, nor chaos, nor crushing cold,
this is the mysterious space
where soon countless suns shall shine.
You are the nexus between unnumbered worlds within
and the bright myriads of worlds without,
remember – so are all your friends
and so are all your enemies,
and every tender word explodes like a quasar
that warms the perplexing vacancy
between one soul and the next.
So turns these cosmic constellations
around the One from whom we all proceed;
whose song is this celestial dance of light and life,
enfolding every distance, every difference
within an everlasting embrace,
dispelling every discordant darkness
into a deeper, brighter melody
while hymning our inexorable return
to the Word that is sung in every star.

Hey Jed,
( I almost started singing, “Hey Jude”)
Love to depth of thought and starlight. Yes, all isxas glorious and wonderful when its source is God the Creator. What great mysteries await for the “star children” of Gid.
Amen.
