We Are Of The Stars

Picture: When The Morning Stars Sang Together by William Blake

*

Ten thousand things,

Rippling dust of the cosmos.

What would that mean without the void?

Without that utter sea of blackness

Surrounding archipelagos of gleam?

Envision the impossible:

You’re here to remember,

You are of the stars

And

Of the obscurity around them;

You are shipwrecked,

Hopelessly shipwrecked,

Yet cherished and guided,

Infallibly guided.

Put it back together, remember,

At each and every single moment, remember:

How do you wish to navigate these waters?

How?
