at full speed

As Voltaire might have said, “ And yet it all works” Did you know, dear friends, that our galaxy Dash through space, at a speed of 2.3 million kilometres per hour, How does it not disintegrate? Why does the sun keep shining? How the earth turns around sun While it is also running at 2.3 million km/h? I know, there is in this perfect mechanics Something divine, As Voltaire wrote, “ I cannot think that this clock exists And that it has no watchmaker.” On our way, no obstacles, Only a cluster of galaxies 150,000 light-years away Ahead, nothing can stop our galaxy, “ And yet it all works” Could have written voltaire, at 2.3 million km/h We can safely Drinking our coffee, isn’t that fantastic?

When we ponder over the movement of earth and the heavenly bodies, everything seems a mystery. Amid all the movement, the coffee in our cup doesn't spill. Indeed there is a divine power behind. Beautiful poem, dear Yaan.

The things we take for granted - the sun shining, the history clock ticking, new and old heartbeats…moving so fast , our coffee does not spill except if we bump it or trip. We are not like creations in an amusement park…we have a sundry moving parts and systems…wind us up? we don’t work like that. Interesting! Hugs ~ Kim

And the earth is spinning on its axis while other plants are around doing their thing. I can't even phantom how we are not totally dizzy all the time, but I know God made arrangements for that; and the few times I have had dizziness I thank Him for arranging that we would not be dizzy. Great work you have penned. Sara K
