The Cosmos has no rules of its own to follow. It expands, it contracts, it moves this way and then that way. Each atom affects those nearby. The rippled effects increase over time. Atoms unite as if at random, yet their paths have already set forth each consequence, each sequence, its developing action. Light unites with kinetic and potential energy, and such actions are mostly beyond the reach of Mankind, passing even further out of reach for some celestial galaxies even now. While you dawdle in sleep yet again, does the Universe stop until you wake up? No, it has no free will as you do. Your body is its tiny Universe governed by cause and effect. As you age, your body may wear it well, yet only in part. One weak link and you pass away faster than a falling star.
The Moon has been there before you and will endure beyond all you have left to live. It will persist without even trying while you lie still upon your bed, so tired even to stand up once again. You lie still as if imitating the Moon that settles into its routine and spins without a single thought. But that Moon has a purpose, and Mankind marvels at it because the shifting debris of the stars has blasted it for thousands of years. It exists and persists. Photographs will get taken every day to display the latest bombardments, and still it moves, perhaps unchanging or perhaps with a tiny change of pace now and then. Let the optimists and stargazers calculate such wonders thought of as insignificant by many a modern man.
