ROCKS IN OUR HEADS On the precipice of reality, a golden boulder came to rest Refusing to go over the top, just teetering upon the edge People gather from all around, spellbound by such a sight Believing it's a sign from god, build a temple atop in delight A random event one of many, across our universe every day Inexplicable, undeniable moments of happenstance at play? Thought provoking, prayer invoking, indeed god evoking life Why does nature stop marbles dead, on the edge of a knife A proposition to intelligence, logic doesn't stand a chance Every problem thought solved, merely one human glance Scratching away at the surface, scratching away our heads Eventually exposes brain tissue, more often gravel beds Spacetime curves in on itself, wormholes let through light Photons can traverse Indian file, singularities have no size Infinity never even started, now it's here, refusing to end Looking closer at that golden boulder, it's really quite a gem KYAIKTIYO PAGODA MIRAMAR Boulder Weighs approx 450 tons How long it's there is anyone's guess Unseen seekers Vibrant inward feelings contest 24/02/22

You know, David, I’m reasonably well read and yet I don’t believe I’ve ever heard of this Boulder… now I’m fascinated. Terry

Yeah it's one of those, for some reason or another they tend not to highlight, I know it's a bit of a hike for tourists, but the locals will put you on a traditional sedan chair and carry you up to it for a few quid, now we're talking, lol cheers David

This really is one of the natural wonders of the world Christopher in my book anyway, it's a huge tourist attraction and place of worship in Miramar, I think they call it Buddhas hair, because it's so finely balanced on the precipice, Google it and have a look at the pictures, blow your mind, cheers David

There is so much about the universe we know nothing about, I remember reading about Darwin and Hawkins theories and what they didn't have an answer for put it down to the miraculous. You could go around the twist looking for answers. Enjoy your weekend Tom

Morning Tom, your so right, there really are no definitive answers, true reality is beyond our human capacity, so we put it down to random chaos, the deeper we dig, the more we realise we are only scratching the surface, cheers David
