First, a disclaimer:

I’m neither astrophysicist nor astronomer.

I am not even an astrologer.

(though there is more writ in the stars

than our philosophy calls for,

Horatio, Ol’ pal!)

But,

60 MINUTES

just gave us a peek into what

James Webb is peeking

and we can see almost

back to the Big Bang Beginning

and 96% of THAT

is dark,

is black,

is like, totally not understood, Dude!

And all the scientists are united

by one fact:

They simply don’t know.

Flummoxed.

Can’t fathom what dark matter and dark energy

are.

(How embarrassing, this not knowing!)

But they know they are!

Holding everything together

while spinning everything away from everything

atthespeedoflight!

(incidentally, leaving

gravity

in question),

further filling far-off voids

with star-stuff

and no one’s got a clue…..

Well,

forgive faiths hubris,

but I do.

It’s God,

the stellar magician,

cloaked in a dark, purple cloud,

smiling,

like when She’s floating in the galactic gaps

between

protons and nutrons

inanucleus,

singing her soft, sirens song,

Her lyrics calling into being

You

and Beauty

and everything.

And it is always

good.

Amen.
