Defining

Like a sunset

Like the contrast of the lightened upper atmosphere, against the darkened silhouette of the earth appearing bound by the brightest light in the sky.

Bringing forth beauty and memories of grace and of mercy. A silent and invisible force, that which makes all things possible.

How many ways is gravity like love?

It all started they say with a Big Bang. Our universe, that is. See,

The gravity that had accumulated in this one spot, in the middle of nothing, had become so dense, so magnetic, just too great a mass, for this one little spot, it burst!

Flinging out all of what it was, into the expanse of nothingness, creating something new.

After centuries of solitude, pressure, and exposure to elements that themselves could only have emerged with the assistance of time before they too could no longer be what they had started out as,

A lone singular being of energy taking up space, bursting out of fullness. Eager to create more, build galaxies. Bring forth living creatures to share this now larger space with. This space that is forever expanding; polaric, like, a sunrise…

Light and airy; dark and solid, drawn by an indivisible force, some may mistakenly define as Tzŭ Sun; but we know that Sun is the baby our bodies touching spawned.

That Sun will someday grow to be a Red Giant. Inevitably destroying our carefully crafted solar system as we know it, without fear of consignation. For the gravity that made it all possible, will keep this universe moving forward.

Gravity will not release its hold on what it has created. Gravity remembers all it took to create this place as it grows and expands, even when into something it doesn’t really recognize.

Yes, gravity is like love. No one sees it, but we know it’s there. Most days we forget to appreciate how it holds us down and the time it took to accumulate its self-worth. Without which our universe could not be what it is today, infinite, like a soulmate. Like, the probability of our quantum particulates concentrating here, full of love and possibility.
