Man made wave
Vision of a spinning Earth & each year, or in fact, each hour, minute, lives are spun off, cast away, irretrievably, like flicked raindrops.

Gore Vidal said that the three most dispiriting words in the English language are Joyce Carol Oates.
Oates may have been tweeting about the latest police shooting of a civilian, this time, at a hospital emergency room.
Dog is paralyzed by the indecision whether he is in or out.
I'm always curious about our position in the galactic reference and where the galaxy is now and after it's initial creation where it was in the universe and where it is now in the universe. What's interesting is the universe isn't a static thing, it is ever expanding like a wave, but with infinite time, infinite space, infinite, matter and infinite energy. I know there was a center of the universe, astronomers I've talked to tell me that this is irrelevant. I tell them it isn't, because the idea in science there is a posit of origin, but no way to trace back location is anathema to my thinking. There must be an origin. There must be a point space of the beginning where matter/energy infiltrated time and saturated it, permeated it, and bonded with it forever more.
Whats even more interesting is that we only see the light of the last 13.7 billion years. We think that's how old the universe is, when in fact, there is another posit that suggests there is an unobservable universe beyond the 13.7 billion years. What I find most troubling and most fascinating is that photons, a particle of matter and a wave at the same time with no discernible mass, can travel so far and show us so much.
Methadras- heavy thoughts. Wonder if our current understanding will be mocked and laughed at the way we joke about Ptolemy having the earth at the center of the universe.
Joyce is such a nut about abortion its hard for me not to associate this tweet with lives that are cut short.
She has to know that is what people are going to think, could be a set up so that she can deliver a 'crushing' comeback when she gets called on it.
Gore Vidal was wrong, other than to say that many of her realistic portrayals are relentlessly depressing (Them, The Mulvaneys), but she is, like Woody Allen or Clint Eastwood, an artist who keeps working and working. Hits and misses.
