Enough For Now

And why? We often ask and wonder- why does this small Earth revolve in time and space- a microscopic speck- diminished by the boundless vastness of the universe, unending and unknown? Why are we here? We go from birth to death upon a sphere we customized to fit our needs; caught up in galaxies of mini-worlds we made- of bustling cities, growing industries, complexities of homes and families, of governments, religions, schools, and those- of our own selves. We ask- what lies beyond the realm of joys and comforts, or the woes these bring; beyond our cloudy atmospheres of love and peace, of war, disease, and crime? And what, we ask, what mammoth plan could this- this tiny particle of cosmic dust encrusted with the scale of human strife be part of? Matter not the what or why- the unsolved heavens or eternal scheme! Enough- enough, for now, to deal with life and death- and all those worlds that lie between- in this, our tiny universe named Earth- a strange, complex dimension all its own.
