Relatively speaking

"Have you ever seen the Sunrise?" Over 20,440 opportunities, many missed, but I still do love you sunrise, you bring a fresh start to each day...for someone, and sometimes you bring with you the stark reality of what actually happened the day before, but all in all you bring us light, I can actually understand why so many worship your rise, it holds underlying logic. Thinking back I can tell you that there's never a good age to die, my Grandpa John at 72 from Prostate, Lauren robbed of all the good days that could have been, should have been, Dad going at 71 yrs of age, Ma at 75 years of age, our brother at 58, never enough damn time to be with all of us. More landmarks will follow, landmark being someone you've cared for deeply or loved deeply throughout the course of earth time. Simply put there is always more shit to be endured somewhere up the road, but never enough golden time put aside to celebrate all of these links in the chain. So, we value that we do have good reason to celebrate two of our links this week, the annual gathering has just been pushed back a week, it is a time when we celebrate for one reason or another that two people started a family, a family becomes celebrated then because it's brought to our lives many others we have known and loved, and our own families have grown larger and fuller as a result of this one unity, plus it is that unities birthday celebration on top of it, a whopping 82 years old for the woman (29930+ sunrises), and a quite glorious 85 years old for the man (31025+ sunrises), they have made it for the long haul, ups, downs, and all arounds. That's a lot of sunrises, now, have you ever seen the sunrise?

My bubble touched your bubble. We shared experiences. Each if our bubbles, touched many other bubles as we floated and drifted across the winds of Eternity.
As the gods we are, we are experincing the beautiful physical world which we created. Individual uniquenesses, yet part of the whole, as we are all one.
We come and go, we laugh and cry, we meet and part, we seek only to experience our creation. You see, we created it all for our own unique experiences.
That which we call God is actually the BIG Bubble, and we are the Little Bubbles within that BIG Bubble floating in and out of this physical creation called earth.
God the Big Bubble knew only magnificence and wondered what it would be like to experience 'Being God'. With a gentle shake (much like a wet dog sending droplets of water all over the place) God sent out parts of himself (little bubbles) out into a newly created place to do just that, experience.
Tiny god bubbles experiencing. So here we are.
Of course I've greatly over simplified a very complex process, but it is what we are all about.
A beautiful story in the telling were it all to be fully explained.
