[after a phrase by SSmoothie]
Hydrogen, that most egalitarian, of elements---
along with some others fused from it in the
seething cores of stars---achieved the
condition, and very definition, of life: the
biovitality and biovivacity,
undeterred and undisrupted by entropy;.and in the
process, over aeons of local earth time, achieved the
verve of sentience if not always the
verities of intelligence. And I wondered:
what if light, the production of fusion, is thought (and the
elements thus fused are the raw data from which
interpretations are released to become light, and,
therefore, thought on behalf of the cosmos, which
could then be deemed the ultimate created thinker.
Gravity, the supreme democratizer,
gathers the stars into clusters---of light and, for the
sake of our illustration, thought---and these clusters
(unaffected by mere theories of the heat death of the
cosmos) form galaxies of swirling light that swirls and
revolves, as thought does; expanding, illuminating and
accommodating available space, as thought does.

Wow! This is incredible! No
Wow! This is incredible! No need for credit. You have written something so beautiful I am in awe and quite chuffed that little old me could help in some small way to give such a brilliant piece its earthly incarnation! I love the wordss used here. They all command authority and yet compassionately suggest rather than enforce thought. The reader trusts and is taken along the vast tour of space time and logic. Wonderful I feel at home amongst the starss

This is where poetry and vast
This is where poetry and vast intellect meet. A mind burst of astrophysics that dives deep into the foundation of reality, which is consciousness as many quantum physicists have begun to believe in the past decades. In this ambitious, far-reaching contemplation you took this concept to a breathtaking level, in stunning language worthy of its scope.
Now I'm wandering, mesmerized, in the spiral glory of "light that swirls and/ revolves, as thought does; expanding, illuminating and / accommodating available space, as thought does."
I continue to be amazed by the versatility of your talent. Whether whimsical and humorous, powerful and baroque, romantic and ecstatic, elevating and meditative, or explosive ponderings like these, your work is always exceptional and a joy to comment on.
Congratulations on this.
Kudos to SSmoothie for an amazing prompt!
Thank you so much. That
Thank you so much. That seems like far too brief an expression of gratitude for such a wonderful comment, but your words have kind of taken my breath away. I am sooooo grateful for your kindness.
