unequivocal?.

So, I was sitting in Science class today, and I'll admit, I was a tad bored. weather. clouds. lightening. etcetera. anyways.
a lot of kids were sick or just slackers, so they didn't show, so it was quieter than usual.

I took the time to neglect my studies and just think. think about everything. and I heard someone say something about Pluto(I think they were referring to the Disney dog character) but I started thinking about the planets, the solar system. sun. the earth. etcetera.

and I started contemplating everything. literally, everything. contemplating the meaning of the universe and why it exists; why it's there.
I began making comparisons to God and love and hope and faith. (I've been real big on those three things lately)

And I came to my own conclusion: God made planets so we wouldn't feel alone, in a sense. God made them so that we could feel like we belong; we are a part of something much bigger. something colossal. something so large that not even the best telescope could see the end of it. alpha and omega. and maybe there is no end. maybe it goes on forever. but these planets exist so that we don't feel like we're floating around in space, with nothing to see but stars and sun. nothing to feel close to.

so, maybe it's a metaphor of our lives. we belong to something bigger; something better. maybe there's more out there, and we just can't see it. maybe we'll never see it. but we're part of something. we're part of something huge.

maybe these planets exist to give us a sense of purpose and direction.


I rarely understand my thoughts or why I have them. maybe someday I'll understand some of them. maybe someday I'll realize that these thoughts are such a vital part of this great big universe, the universe I call home; the universe I live in. it's massive and it's beautiful. it's endless and it's real, and I belong in it.

you belong in it.
you belong in it with me.
we all belong in it together.

I'm shaking and I don't know why.
