Wonder of life
Accumulation and compression
Giving light and heat.
Nuclear reaction
Dancing to the beat.
As a universe comes alive
We hear, see and touch:
Spawning life and consciousness
Without which, there isn’t much.
Straight out of the atom –
The substance of life
Pours forth into the cosmos
Until all life is rife.
Opher – 19.12.2019
I sometimes imagine a universe without life, with no eyes to see its stars, no consciousness to wonder at it.
All that majesty, all that might, all that wonder, with nobody to appreciate it.
What a waste that would be.
I cannot help thinking that it is us, all life on earth, that gives the whole universe meaning. Without us there is no-one to ponder, love and glory in its staggering scope and glory.
The universe is a wondrous place. At least we are here to appreciate that.
Opher's World 
Opher – it begs the question, why (not how) did the Universe come into being in the first place. What is its ultimate purpose?
You’re in a very lyrical mood today.

I have my moods Dewin. Who knows? I certainly don’t think it’s anything to do with any religion we humans have invented. That spirituality has been beyond us.
