Like the Dance of Shiva that is alleged to end
and recreate the universe in Hindu mythology,
I believe the universe has dissolved and
recreated in the undeterminable past.
I see that akin to the dissolution and recreation
of flowers and leaves in winter and in spring.
Imagine if civilizations like others, or far more
advanced, existed in the cosmos and then
one day, poof!, they were gone, untraceable and
obliterated forever.
Imagine if the galaxies, the planets and the stars
one day dissolved into nothingness and were
recreated over and over.
To speculate further, I think there’s a possibility
such mysteries will be revealed to us when we
die.
Of course, I could be wrong about these things,
but I find it fascinating pondering such mysterious
matters.
