Who gives order
to the night sky?
What purpose
could the vastness serve?
But as the backdrop
of the love story
Between you and I
Eugi’s Weekly Prompt: Cosmos
There’s as many atoms in a single molecule of your DNA as there are stars in the typical galaxy. We are, each of us, a little universe.
– Neil deGrasse Tyson
The Cosmos is all that is or was or ever will be. Our feeblest contemplations of the Cosmos stir us — there is a tingling in the spine, a catch in the voice, a faint sensation, as if a distant memory, of falling from a height. We know we are approaching the greatest of mysteries.
– Carl Sagan
Very anthropocentric of you!

Thank you 😏 Isn’t that what true love really is? Something that can make all of existence pale by comparison. Where nothing else need exist but the love you share.

Yes, you’re dead right actually. Should be part of the definition of love! Collapses the wave-function of the entire universe into a state known only to you 😄. Hey I’m good at this lol.

Unfortunately some of us (Ellen Degeneres) take this concept of the universe being the backdrop to their own lives a little too far 😅.

I didnt realise Ellen was so self involved 🤔
I quite surprised she hasn’t faded into obscurity by now. Good for her.
