As a bit of a transition between series, I wanted to offer this list of things the Universe has learned over its 13 billion years of existence according to Born with a Bang: The Universe Tells Our Cosmic Story by Jennifer Morgan and illustrated by Dana Lynne Anderson.
I learned…
- that even giant things start out small
- that I am a “universe,” which means “one song”
- that I love to experiment
- that when parts of me “die” the don’t really come to an end, they just change form
- that I couldn’t be creative without also being destructive
- that to build things I need building blocks
- that I love variety
- to turn dream into reality
- that there are special times for doing things, or I would lose my chance
- to be patient
- that my life is uncertain—and therefore a great adventure
- that I really love to morph into a variety of forms
