The marvellous, wondrous, inspiring complexity that is life.
Supreme mainfestations of beauty, of purpose;
Of diligence, of teacity, of survival.
The more we inquire
The more we discover
What pristine beauty awaits us.
How humble one feels
at the face of it all.
'From so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.'
- Charles Darwin
"We humans have seen the atoms which constitute all of nature and the forces that sculpted this work...and we, who embody the local eyes and ears and thoughes and feelings of the cosmos, have begun to wonder about our origins... star stuff contemplating the stars, organized collections of ten billion billion billion atoms, contemplating the evolution of nature, tracing that long path by which it arrived at consciousness here on the planet Earth... Our loyalties are to the species and to the planet. Our obligation to survive and flourish is owed not just to ourselves but also to that cosmos ancient and rast from which we spring."
- Carl Sagan
Nature, from the smallest subatomic particle
to the grandeur of universe
is breathtaking.
Words fail to describe
the wonder of it all
The sheer, raw beauty of it all.
How can one ever express
What one's heart feels
When one contemplates
The very stars one once was
And from thence
The miraculous path
Of how one came to be
When one contemplates of everything -
everything, in this universe
How one feels obliged to kneel
At the scope of it all
The grandeur of it all
Down to every miraculous detail.
For 'tis nothing short
of a miracle.
The beauty of complexity
The beauty of self-organisation
The beauty of emergence
The miracle of
How we came to be -
And to possess
from those very origins
Free will
Consciousness
And the capacity
To discover
To learn
To inquire
About all these things
To the inquirer, the explorer
O what treasures there are
O what most beautiful gems
O what most inspiring beauty
Are just waiting to be found
Least to mention
the grandeur
Of how it all fits together.

Surely -
If god exists
He is outside of this all
Beyond this all
For -
This beautiful world needs no intervention.
There need be no miracles -
When this universe
Our very existance
Is one.
And what a gift he has given us
The brilliance of it all
