All Life From The Deep

According to science, the heavens are not as lovely as an artists 'color added', to a photo of far away nebulae, gasses and globular clusters. Science says, a human eye would not see, as these artistic representations portray...that behind the darkness of stars and distance, are merely grey scale and bursts of molecular frequency.

I say, the perception of our universe is only complete when the artist adds his color and the poet adds her 'knowing...that the truest perception of everything, is in the wonder and awe of a child, knowing not the cadaver of the dead...nor cold hard science, alone.

We were drawn from the dawn of existence...from the well of creation, by cleverness and curiosity...and faith, in that which is not known...nor answered in a final sum. So science has it's place, but by no means...the place. Let us continue to wonder and travel on, and to look with childlike eyes, at the heavens and each other.
