The Earth Turned to Bring Us Closer

The earth turned to bring us closer,
it spun on itself and within us,
and finally joined us together in this dream
as written in the Symposium.
Nights passed by, snowfalls and solstices;
time passed in minutes and millennia.
An ox cart that was on its way to Nineveh
arrived in Nebraska.
A rooster was singing some distance from the world,
in one of the thousand pre-lives of our fathers.
The earth was spinning with its music
carrying us on board;
it didn't stop turning a single moment
as if so much love, so much that's miraculous
was only an adagio written long ago
in the Symposium's score.

-Eugenio Montejo (1938 - 2008)

Everything Is Illuminated

Words and context.
Sights and smells.
Thoughts and feelings.
Sometimes the best way to say something is to not say anything at all.
In a moments time, I can find myself holding up so much.
Like there's some sort of vacuum of feeling that exponentially captures everything in such a way that can only be extracted and realized in the years to follow.
Great moments happen so fast and perfectly that the beauty of it all needs time to be truly known.
Cherish every second you can, because a second can hold so much.

At what point does microscopic become the macroscopic. If we're all living things made of microscopic material. We only see ourselves as a macroscopic thing but we're really trillions of microscopic things. I feel like observation, whether it be mental or visual, has some sort of effect on this determination. What is the power of observation? Maybe we're just mentally confined to always seeing dichotomies. Alive or dead as opposed to everything always being microscopic. We see how microscopic things are compiled into macroscopic objects but we often miss the complexities of the microscopic or possibly even the macro above our vision of macroscopic.
