And what i was feeling was the wonder of being more than me, of being more than mere here and now allowed i had become a shining star, a burning nova exploded with love flying through an endlessly expanding universe away from the me that was toward a me that is beyond understanding.

Stars Expanding Universe Shining

More From Walter Dean Myers

One can imagine that god created the universe at literally any time in the past. on the other hand, if the universe is expanding, there may be physical reasons why there had to be a beginning. one could imagine that god created the universe at the instant of the big bang, or even afterwards in just such a way as to make it look as though there had been a big bang, but it would be meaningless to suppose that it was created before the big bang. an expanding universe does not preclude a creator, but it does place limits on when he might have carried out his job!

If it [the universe] was expanding fairly slowly, the force of gravity would cause it eventually to stop expanding and then to start contracting. however, if it was expanding at more than a certain critical rate, gravity would never be strong enough to stop it, and the universe would continue to expand forever.

He always reminded us that every atom in our bodies was once part of a distant star that had exploded. he talked about how evolution moves from simplicity toward complexity, and how human intelligence is the highest known expression of evolution. i remember him telling me that a frog's brain is much more complex than a star. he saw human consciousness as the first neuron of the universe coming to life and awareness. a spark in the darkness, waiting to spread to fire.

Must love be ever treated with profaneness as a mere illusion? or with coarseness as a mere impulse? or with fear as a mere disease? or with shame as a mere weakness? or with levity as a mere accident? whereas it is a great mystery and a great necessity, lying at the foundation of human existence, morality, and happiness,--mysterious, universal, inevitable as death.

Love is real, real is love, love is feeling, feeling love, love is wanting to be loved. love is touch, touch is love, love is reaching, reaching love, love is asking to be loved. love is you, you and me, love is knowing, we can be. love is free, free is love, love is living, living love, love is needing to be loved.

Wonder is like grace, in that it's not a condition we grasp; it grasps us. wonder is not an obligatory element in the search for truth. we can seek truth without wonder's assistance. but seek is all we'll do; there will be no finding. unless wonder descends, unlocks us ... truth is unable to enter. wonder may be the aura of truth, the halo of it. or something even closer. wonder may be the caress of truth, touching our very skin.

Similar Quotes

There may be circumstances in this life that god uses to keep bringing us back to him, looking for his grace.

In my youth i regarded the universe as an open book, printed in the language of equations, whereas now it appears to me as a text written in invisible ink, of which in our rare moments of grace we are able to decipher a small segment.

All that may be known of god for our salvation, especially his wisdom, love, goodness, grace and mercy on which the life of our souls depends, are represented to us in all their splendour in and through christ. no wonder then that christ is glorious in the eyes of believers!

God's grace will never be available to you to become another person. he created to be you - the best "you" you can be! forget about trying to be someone else.
