There are an infinite number of possibilities in the universe that solar systems will be destroyed. There are equally infinite possibilities that when stars collide, new galaxies, energies, beings emerge.
Everything we imagine conforms to physical laws: Chaos constructs the cosmos. Constellations rise from fire and ash. Energy begets energy.
When I began teaching, my primary grade students loved to act out a little song: "Old House: Tear it down! Who's going to help me tear it down?" They were just as enthusiastic about the second verse: "New House! Build it up! Who's going to help me build it up?" Both verses continued with same words: "Bring me a hammer! Bring me a saw! Who's going to help me?" We'd talk about the different ways we used tools to tear things down and build something new. The most inexperienced students could imagine ways to use what was taken apart: clean them, mix them with glue, straighten what's bent, sell scrap to buy materials. We kept the discussion concrete: tearing down and building were rarely about rebuilding relationships, communities, or broken hearts.
As adults we learn that destruction and chaos affects us in real time, in our personal emotional lives. Someone we love will collapse. Strangers will be mowed down, even as they dance for joy, celebrating with pride, love, and victory over decades of suspicion and estrangement. After such decimation, we stagger, we stumble. We are stunned. Still, there is only one thing to do when everything falls apart: BUILD something new. Dust off what is strong. Use what remains. Imagine what can be improved. Act with confidence, enthusiasm, and faith. We rebuild because we ARE creation, recycling, renewing, reconnecting energetically, emotionally, intentionally. Life compels us to CREATE itself, over and over, simply to remind us that we frail beings are as magnificent as the suns that light our days and power life through uncounted eons.
I am built from stars that formed in chaos.
I formed from an intent to merge,
become something greater,
develop into fullness,
push into life,
fill my lungs,
call for love.
All I AM
declares:
Shake me,
Stun me,
Shock me.
Start me on
the path that
spins me into
ACTION.
