I am the universe....
Warning: Kol Isha.
No connection to post..just heard it this morning and was so moved by the sheer beauty I had to share. Close your eyes and enjoy 2 of the most beautiful voices on earth.
400 BCE
Laying on the grass...on a starry night
Eyes wide open...reflecting the moons light
Flying upward ..pulled up to the dizzying display
There you found Apollo..and Zeuss..the gods at play
Your offspring millenia later..occupies the same damp place
With the same wide eyed fascination gets lost in the vastness of space
This time armed with numbers..that boggle the mind
Bilions...trillions..stars..galaxies....yet to find
Anything to make you feel small
Gods...Science....BIG and TALL
Distract you..Weave a great big shield..
Anything not to realize the power you wield
Me?
I am a partner with God..in every sense of the word
The furthest star in the furthest galaxy..of this vast world
Is right here
in the palm
of my hand..
I lay back in the sweet smelling grass..lost in the night
Lost in the billions of stars ..twinkling..shining bright
And I fly upward and feel them become me..
And suddenly feel oh so big..
I am the Universe..and the Universe becomes me
.

while in israel, i used to go to a lookout at night, and see lighted hills and a couple of highways converging...
you truly feel the opposite statements there - "anochi afar viefer" and "bishvili nivrah holam"
the beauty overwhelms you, yet makes you feel special.
Warning: Kol Isha? Give me a break David!
Kol isha and greek gods in one post?!?! DOTL, you have seriously disappointed me. :P
On the other hand, the ending thought is really nice. I bet you could have done it yourself just as well, though, without bringing foreigners onto your blog.
Dreamer...
It is quite humbling...
I get the chills when I stare into space..
LV..

Bas_Melech...
If by this
" I bet you could have done it yourself just as well, though, without bringing foreigners onto your blog"
you mean appolo and zeus..then you need to re-read the poem...
Theyre an integral part of the contrast here...

brilliant post tho, i love finding these subtle differences between the way we see the world and the way the rest of the world does, its subtle but it changes everything.
being a partner is a BIG job.. can you blame them for trying to escape..
