“NATURALLY’

When I look at the stars... I feel insignificant.

And so I ask myself:
Where do I come from?

Closing my eyes,
I travel at the speed of light
along each curvature of the quantum vacuum,
surfing on electromagnetic waves,
where relative time slows down everything,
even the hands of the clock.

In this universe, I am the spark of life
from our fertile land of flora and fauna.
I am a fleeting moment
-fourteen billion years-
submissive to the laws of nature...
of chemistry…
of physics...
and the space-time continuum.

I am drunk with the essence of science
and it is clear to me that all is connected:
from the most minuscule molecule
to the gigantic galaxy;
a romance between mass and energy.

Nature is so divine!

Let us be humble,
respectful and gentle.

As she is without a doubt
naturally beautiful,
naturally eternal,
and we are, quite naturally
a little piece of her.
