Saying goodbye...again

Sometimes I stare at the sky and think about physics.

About how light from the only star we’ll ever really know originates from enormously powerful and seemingly endless nuclear fusion reactions.

About how those photons zoom across 150 million or so kilometres of open space.

About how they make a beeline through the atmosphere.

About how air and clouds and dust and the occasional butterfly will shape and color them.

About how they’ll land on our retinas and get processed via our optic nerves and our cognitive centres.

About how we’ll just stand there in awe as the word “wow” forms itself silently on our lips.

About how I’m probably overthinking it.

But still, I’d rather live in a world where we can be wowed instead of the alternative where we can’t.

Or won’t.
