The Universe

The answer is all around us. In every single stone, across the fields, into the ocean. In the fresh air, in cloudy or blue skies. In us being alive. In the lives around us. In each movement, in every breath. In the fact that we’re thinking about it. Even when we don’t think about it. There’s no running from it. No trying to find it. Because we are it. Here. Yesterday. Tomorrow. Always. Forever.

A Family of Four

Together, we used to be one.

Together, we were the Universe.

Together, we were sister Grav, brother Stro, brother Wea, and young sister Electra.

Together, we were not just sister Grav, brother Stro, brother Wea, or young sister Electra.

Together, we were more than young sister Electra, brother Wea, brother Stro, and sister Grav.

We were one. Alone, but One!

A single force. A multi-force. A super-force. A mega-force!

One!

A brotherhood. A sisterhood. A superhood. Orfans, yes, but

One!

We were the world and the world was us and we and the world

Were all there was.

One.

Single.

United.

Unified.

But then, sister Grav got married, and left.

And then, brother Stro went to college.

And then, brother Wea started working.

And then, young sister Electra got in love and ran away.

And we no longer were.

Yes, we used to be one.

A single force.

Four brothers.

one being.

until our lives started and we came apart.

And that’s when the Universe truly began.

The Story of electromagnetism or the spell of not being able to actually touch or see the World

We are all cursed, my son. And I mean it. Seriously. Have you seen anything lately? Have you felt anything? Touched anything, maybe? No you haven’t. Stop lying. Be honest. No, you haven’t. You haven’t touched anything at all because our Universe is cursed and nothing can ever touch anything else. Nothing can come in intimate contact. Touch; it’s all a lie. It’s all a false feeling. Things do not touch, my son. All that happens is repulsion. At a distance - and still quite a big one. It’s all about photons, they say. Photons are the spell carriers. Whenever you get too close to something or someone, photons will make sure you don’t come any closer than you need. You will feel touch. Repulsion; strength; structure. You will feel all that, and yet that is not real. Nothing but a spell. By the photons - damn those. And it’s just like looking. Like seeing. We don’t really see either, you know. We don’t see anything at all. We just react. Electromagnetically. Photons. Again. Damn photons. They hit our sensors and then our brain sends some strange signals - mediated by more photons. And then it hits the brain. And then more signals - and more photons. And then we see - although we don’t. Not really. We do not see, because what we see is a triple illusion. An illusion. Just like the entire world around us. An entire Universe, held together by a set of illusions. Pure Magic.
