One of my favourite quotes is “The universe does not bend itself to our ignorance” by author and researcher Robert Schadewald. It refers to the nature of how people are and function based on the way they perceive reality according to their beliefs. Sadly ignorance gets the best of them. People tend to live in worlds of their own orbiting around other worlds. But the saddest thing is not that people invent realities and believe it, the saddest thing is why people choose to do it in the first place.

Why do people make up stories? Are they confused? Is there some agenda at work? Why in the face of truth, evidence and facts people choose to live in a bubble made up of misinformation and lies? Why do people persist in self delusion? The universe does not bend itself to our petty beliefs, ideas or stories. Yet the universe is real and makes itself known in a language independent of our ignorance. It is our humanity that bends itself to the universe. 

As America slowly tortures itself for Election Day – the moment that will essentially define the future of America and the world, I wonder what chain of events will unfold. What will become of the center stage? A storm has been brewing in the cold hearts of the hateful across the land. Yet on this very same land before the dawn of the so-called new world, newcomers of the west arrived with hateful cold hearts. For the native hunters, the moonlight played a significant role to help them prepare for the coming winter. Centuries later I am reminded of a time long forgotten. How something simple as moonlight made a difference between life and death.

Will Election Day mark the end of this new world? Are the hateful cold hearts from the time before anymore different than the hateful cold hearts from today? Will we cause our own destruction? I hope just as tonight’s moonlight shines brighter than most nights, the future of the world will also shine brighter than all the times before. After all we have been to the moon and back. I guess in a way we are all each other’s moonlight. And that can make all the difference between life and death.

Welcome to my multiverse where all things wonder, human and stars come together. This is my very first blog post. For a very long time I have been meaning to do a blog, mainly just for myself. Friends have been trying to make me do one for ages. Well here it is, the random musings of a dreamer. This is a work in progress. Small steps. I am still learning how this works. For me this is a journey of self-discovery and the discovery of others. Join me if you wish on this journey to the stars…and beyond. And if not, well it does not stop the skies from calling.

 

Watch this space.
