Eye of the Mountain

Collapsing Spacetime
Compresses cosmic scale—light-years, stars, deep time, and trillions of cells—into the shared immediacy of a single conscious moment. Vastness becomes intimate through attention to here and now.
In a universe stretched across light-years,
Among billions of stars,
In the infinity of time,
Trillions of cells move together
To create this moment of awareness
That is us.
Here. Now.
What if we didn't measure space in miles?
What if we didn't measure time in seconds?
What if we measured them in meaning and awareness?
All of it held in the body.
What is more precious than what each of us has right here, right now?
To breathe.
To stand.
To take a step.
To speak.
To touch.
To meet.
To see.
And not turn away.
