A Trilogy in The Tesla 3-6-9

THE SUN, EARTH & MOON (Alternative title: Sygyzy) The sun is the past— crucible of the epigenetic light. The earth’s the present— inexorably our arrogant might. The moon’s the future— a desolate orb frozen in its plight.   Modern science says: The sun is the past, the earth is the present, the moon is the future. From an incandescent mass we have originated, and into a frozen mass we shall turn. Merciless is the law of nature, and rapidly and irresistibly we are drawn to our doom. ~Nikola Tesla © Suzette Richards 30 July 2017 A PRICELESS GIFT Everyone should consider his body as a priceless gift from one whom he loves above all, a marvellous work of art, of indescribable beauty, and mystery beyond human conception, and so delicate that a word, a breath, a look, nay, a thought may injure it. ~Nikola Tesla I hold myself rigid within the framework of creeds imposed upon me by the secular world at large. I resist the urge to become totally feral. A light shines through the cracked urn of my consciousness, and challenges my intellect and the many preconceived ideas. Reason and common sense hover; are peripheral. I recognise that the frail husk that we dwell in is the reason for our temptation and fleeting pleasure— Our very earthly existence is ephemeral. © Suzette Richards 1 July 2021 MAKING MY LIFE EASY … From Alexander Graham Bell’s telephone, to the electromechanical vibrator — all invented before the vacuum cleaner. Life as a woman has its perks, but the drudgery of housekeeping could leave many feeling meaner than a nest of rattlesnakes. But pay me some attention with an invention; I will surely become a real keener. I do not think you can name many great inventions that have been made by married men. ~Nikola Tesla © Suzette Richards 10 July 2021 Written to coincide with his birthday, midnight 9–10 July. The first 3 lines: These are all inventions by married men. PS Tesla never married. Also see my article: The Tesla 3–6–9: Poetic form since 2017
