Lost in Space: Paradigm Shift:2012 (or thereabouts)

The human race, 

lost in space:

this is who we are

gripping tight

this wretched rock

we've traveled pretty far.

FULL CIRCLE

( copernicus )

It was shocking when Copernicus

moved the center to the sun;

the earth-moving truth

caused much despair

for a century or two

but eventually brought

intellectual breakthrough.

That is called paradigm shift 

(I've spoken of this before)

We're in another one,

now.

( nationalgeographic )

But this one is more

belittling,

more

difficult to digest

than coming to terms with the structure

of our own solar system.

At least the Copernican

shift

kept us somewhat central.

At least it

kept us in observable

space;

but this new shift,

well,

it asks us to perceive ourselves

in relation to

infinity:

in relation to

what's beyond the horizon,

lying hidden

under the under

belly of all being.

We're here,

at the brink of that understanding,

of being able to perceive

infinitely.

It's not half as scary as it sounds.

We merely need

to discard our conception

of time,

and with it

anything else that is

denominational.

( schoolloansblog )

Because once we've seen infinity,

we don't need to count

anymore.
