At night, peering into the observable universe
with shooting stars and galaxies fully arrayed,
I often wonder at the other planets, like earth,
that must surely abound with life, also populating
this infinite space. Sure that the encounter with
extraterrestrial life will be accomplished as the
beacons humanity rockets towards the outer
limits announce our existence.
Yet, recently, my guidance is leading me to
another possibility. One that is strangely
unnerving but has its own logic. That is;
we here on earth, are actually the vanguard
of life in this universe. We are the first step,
and as such, the only sentient, conscious
life that has been so accomplished by this
magnificent universal life form so far.
Ok, let’s focus on this question for a moment.
What if the sentient life we are experiencing
is the first, fully formed universal life, and we
are actually existing within a virtual first cause
test tube world, the first life, the advanced life,
the incubator of all potential universal life?
What if we are really at the beginning of
universal time, and we are the evolutionary
offspring of a dynamic, living growing universal
beingness. An offspring created via controlled
evolution, fully equipped with the desire and
capability to explore and inhabit the universe.
Although we may shudder at the fate of existing
and future life under this scenario, that is,
life in the hands of what appears to be, at best,
a toddler humanity, a first step is for us to
understand our place in this cosmic universal
life intention.
I have been meditating on this very concept,
and while sitting and meditating on my back
deck this morning, I could sense the very life
energy growing and expanding our existence,
always creating, fostering, and supporting life:
pushing us forward; never ceasing.
The poem below titled New Life, I believe
was an initial inspired response to these
ruminations.
NEW LIFE
Each day life erupts anew, fresh and potent
within the garden of this, our existence,
pulsing, pushing, stretching to reach a slight
step beyond, to grasp a sliver of more,
a morsel of further expanded possibility,
as beneath the appearance of stasis is a struggle
for this furtherance, a preordained unfolding where
the essence of being boils and churns undaunted,
whirling, as the progression finds its inch,
as it rips at the fabric of this present confinement,
stretching its intention, increasing its volume,
inflating its very boundaries, borders,
expanding with its additional new life;
never ceasing.
