The space between stars is everything At the same time it is nothing It’s the joy of those around you It’s also the loneliness you feel It’s a distence so grand none have crossed Yet we cross it all the time It’s a sea of darkness with light so blinding It’s cold but warm all at once It’s the place where hate is stored But what’s more its the place love grows You get lost to be found once more A better you restored So come with use to our village in the sky Between the stars Where you who are unseen and forgotten Can be among those who have found YOU
The space between stars, or as I call it, the what if. You’d think it would be empty, void and cold, full of nothingness. At least that’s what we’re told to assume. But truth is does anyone really know what lies between? What if it’s empty nothingness? What if it’s planets teeming with alien life? What if it’s black holes, meteors, or space junk? It’s a place of infinite possibilities. A place full of hopes, dream, and ambitions. A place filled with dread, darkness and our greatest fears. It’s the space between who we currently are, who we want to be, and who we eventually will become. It might appear empty, but that’s the beauty of it. No matter where in life you are that space will always be there, ever growing and evolving. It’s the what ifs of your imagination that fill that space.
Like a jaguar on the prowl, He thirsted for my blood because legend said it tasted of wine. Lust occupied space in his eyes, Swallowing my virginity the way all black holes operate, Painting my sheets in shame and sweat.
He used to say he was down to Earth And I was breaking ground on Mars. I wrote his name in the galaxies As if he were my destiny.
He wanted out of the Milky Way To be a star in someone else’s sky. I felt the tether break And I defied gravity by falling in love But couldn’t stop from spiraling And lost myself somewhere between universes.
So I broke my silence with God And I asked him for directions to the nearest payphone; There’s someone in Heaven I need to call.
Our souls are stars Glowing inside of us And if we were to see Inside of our bodies They would be in a galaxy Our two souls In the same galaxy
I know your soul And you know mine But too far away They each appear to twinkle Showing off a glimmer But never the full brightness
Only a flicker of your star Reaches my heart As I slowly fall in love But we’re solar systems apart So I know your presence And I see your flickering star Both calling to one another But just a little too far
The space between stars is vast. Ethereal.
The brightest stars, surrounded by a complete absence of light.
Complete silence. As if time had stopped still.
Every so often, a comet whizzes by, breaking the stillness. Chunks of grey rock hurtle through the dark abyss.
And then again there is silence.
Now mom won’t let either of us sit in the front seat. It’s like she’s punishing me for Charlie’s bad attitude. I tried to explain to her what Charlie just did to my binoculars, but she wouldn’t listen. She said she is fed up with us having a problem with each other.
Now Charlie has her headphones on (big surprise!) and refuses to look over at me. If that’s her way of punishing me for yelling at her, good luck. I would rather her be miles away then on the other side of this seat. I’m pretty bored, though. I have finished every single page of every single activity book I brought. I guess it’s time to nap… again.
Sometimes it can feel as if you’re all alone. Just by yourself out there. No one to hold you close or no one to talk to aboyt how you really feel. Then it might be good to remember that the stars are also alone. The distance from one star to another is further than we could travel in a lifetime. Still, you can see the light of the stars all the way from that enormous distance. No matter how alone you feel, you are surrounded by other stars who see you. So keep your light shining, the world is a better place with you in it. The next time you look up the sky and see a star, know that your light shines just as bright, if not even brighter. ✨
The space between the stars is best described as far away but really so close. The stars you see in the night sky can light up the whole universe. Even in the fog, you can still see a faint light. The stars are very far away, but are bright enough to see. The shine because they believe that one day, they will be closer to us than they are right now. They shine so we know that they are there, waiting patiently for us to find them. When they are found, they will be closer to us than ever before.
The space between stars, the blackness, isn’t nothing. It’s potential space, and held together by gravity, the accumulated force of the weight and motion of all the bodies rotating and ricocheting through space. It positively thrums with energy. Before Einstein, it was believed that this blackness was the Aether, the invisible force which sustains the universe. Einstein and others disproved this Aether, finding it was necessary to explaining gravitation and motion in the universe. Yet there’s more than can be explained by Einsteinian physics… Particles seem to be entangled, at a distance which defies the speed of light. They exhibit strange properties, as if their true movements hinges on structures and movements beyond what gravitation could predict. The second half of Einstein‘s career was spent in denial of Quantum Physics and its effects, the context of his famous “God does not play dice with the universe” quote. All of this background has become desperately relevant because of what’s happening on earth now. The sun is frying us. Human life won’t be able to survive more than a few more generations. The ice caps are melting, the seas are rising, and we have no place to go. We need to reach into the blackness. If we can contact another intelligence, or find a way to travel to another galaxy with habitable planets, it’s the only way we can survive. This planet will be our tomb if we don’t go out there. I hesitate to tell you this, but the Blackness has been speaking to me. I know it sounds insane. But the revelations I’ve received at night have translated into miraculous breakthroughs in mathematics and physics. The problems I’ve solved have long ago been given up for impossibility. There’s another Earth. It’s on the other side of the galaxy. It’s fresh and uninhabited, and we can go there. All that we will need is a portal, and the Blackness has explained to me how to build one. Of course, there’s a drawback. A leap of faith is required. Our physical bodies can’t make the transition to the new Earth. Only our consciousness can be transported as information. We must sacrifice our lives here to be reborn there. How will we get new bodies there? At first we’ll be energy beings, floating in a cloud of potential above the planet. We will maintain our personalities as long as we want to, with the technology I have. Once we have invested the energy into the planet, life will begin to evolve. Proteins will emerge, single celled organisms, becoming more complex with generations. Once life can become humanoid, and a cerebrum can accommodate consciousness, we will descend and incarnate ourselves as a new human species. The technology will remain on our patent earth, broadcasting with devices that can survive any cataclysm. We will be immortal, and when we have our new bodies, we can recreate our societies. So come, join me, and let’s embrace the Blackness. We have nothing to lose but these frail decaying forms.
