The Cosmos

"We and the cosmos are one. The cosmos is a vast body, of which we are still parts. The sun is a great heart whose tremors run through our smallest veins. The moon is a great gleaming nerve-centre from which we quiver forever. Who knows the power of that". ( D.H. Lawrence, 1885-1930)

"Those afraid of the universe as it really is, those who pretend to nonexistent knowledge and envision a Cosmos centered on human beings will prefer the fleeting comforts of superstition. They avoid rather than confront the world. But those with the courage to explore the weave and structure of the Cosmos, even where it differs profoundly from their wishes and prejudices, will penetrate its deepest mysteries". (Carl Sagan, 1934 - 1996)

"The Cosmos is all that there is or ever was or ever will be. Our feeblest contemplations of the Cosmos stir us—there is a tingling in the spine, a catch in the voice, a faint sensation, as if a distant memory, of falling from a height. We know we are approaching the greatest of mysteries."
—Cosmos, 1980

Music by KT Tunstall: The Universe and U

Lyrics:

A fire burns
Water comes
You cool me down
When I'm cold inside
You are warm and bright
You know you are so good for me,yeah
With your child's eyes
You are more than you seem
You see into space
I see in your face
The places you've been
The things you have learned
They sit with you so beautifully

You know there's no need to hide away
You know I tell the truth
We are just the same
I can feel everything you do
Hear everything you say
Even when you're miles away
Cause I am me, the universe and you

And just like stars burning bright
Making holes in the night
We are building bridges

You know there's no need to hide away
You know I tell the truth
We are just the same
I can feel everything you do
Hear everything you say
Even when you're miles away
Cause I am me, the universe and you
I'm the universe and you

When you're on your own
I'll send you a sign
Just so you know
I am me, the universe and you
The universe and you
The universe and you
I am the universe and you

One more comment....sorry, I guess this lovely video featuring such a heavenly song really hit me in my solar plexus. I'm reminded how much I appreciate a poet's, musician's & artist's vision of the universe. It reminded me of these lovely lyrics that I haven't thought of in decades:

"While Mona Lisas & Mad Hatters

Sons of bankers, sons of lawyers

Turn around & say good morning to the night

For unless they see the sky

But they can't & that is why

They know not if it's dark outside or light."
