Amazing Heart

Here is a story
to break your heart.
Are you willing?
This winter
the loons came to our harbor
and died, one by one,
of nothing we could see.
A friend told me
of one on the shore
that lifted its head and opened
the elegant beak and cried out
in the long, sweet savoring of its life
which, if you have heard it,
you know is a sacred thing.,
and for which, if you have not heard it,
you had better hurry to where
they still sing.
And, believe me, tell no one
just where that is.
The next morning
this loon, speckled
and iridescent and with a plan
to fly home
to some hidden lake,
was dead on the shore.
I tell you this
to break your heart,
by which I mean only
that it break open and never close again
to the rest of the world.~ “Lead” by Mary Oliver

Olber's Paradox

Solution to Olber's Paradox:

"We do not live in an infinite and static visible universe. The universe has a finite age and is expanding. Because only about 13.7 billion years have elapsed since the Big Bang, we can only observe stars out to a finite distance. This means that the number of stars that we can observe is finite. Because of the speed of light, there are portions of the universe we never see, and light from very distant stars has not had time to reach the Earth. Interestingly, the first person to suggest this resolution to Olber's Paradox was the writer Edgar Allan Poe."

YOU! Yes, you. You are beautiful. You have a light in you shining bright, breath running through your body, and a universe that loves you. Love yourself and others exactly as they are in this moment. Love yourself and your body right now... not a few pounds from now, not a haircut later, NOW. Send your body thanks for being your vehicle through this world. This body that allows you to communicate and connect with others. Throw out a compliment today that goes beyond the physical, such as, "Your passion shows through in your work. Thank you." or "You are a fantastic father." 

I hope everyone has a blessed moment, day, week, and so forth...because we aren't entitled to the very next one.
