The Distances Between Stars and Atoms are not Empty

by Dionysos Maskaleris

​

The distances between stars and the distances between atoms are not empty for light and love fill and transcend the void. As starlight travels - as particles sing - love is not just a search it is an endless flow. I have seen all these things with my eyes and my heart. It all exists, everything is connected by this translucent light of energy. I see it out of the corner of my eyes when I first awake, when I fall asleep and when I walk without looking for my thoughts. On the mountain by the sea it is the sound of fog horns, the vision of millions of stars and the great frenzied stream of sparks with twenty foot trails flowing up from my roaring camp fire impregnating the heavens, lighting the night between ocean and sky - this is what makes my life a waking dream until dawn. In stilling pools and in awakening eyes it is the sun's dancing light, coming up out of shimmering waters surrounded by reflecting trees with leaves that speak to the wind all touching many mirrors of the Earth and the mirrors of many souls - it is there that I see all as the same vision. As a child's hand and eyes touch mine, a love that endures and transcends all pain and all distances connects me to the child's existence, every living being and every particle. Now I become a leaf fluttering down to float on softly breathed upon waters. Now I am a star alive with a soul tending my planets - my children for millions of years. Now I am a beam of light entering an open leaf and the light and the leaf make love. With these visions - visions all that I have seen and lived - I know why I exist - why everything exists. We live to touch everything - to know everything - to be everything. Someday we will become pure conscious energy able to enter any entity at will. We will move stars - destroy them or tend them - feed on their energy for greedy purposes sucking their energy dry in one instant in order to move great physical objects for vast distances or we will caress the stars, their planets and their life forms. We will be star ecologists - star shepherds. We will sing to the stars of entropy and eternity and the stars will make love to us - we will bathe each other in light and new forms will emerge from these unions - entities so beautiful that a new spiral of the universe will be formed - another thread of life that touches everything.
