Between Time and Scale by Jim BenzI was talking with my son
the other night
about the correlation between
time and scale
imagining a perspective
holding galaxies
in the palms of our hands
or so small, dancing
with strings in a subatomic
universe
It was a nice moment
we understood one another
knew
that no one else would 08/25/2005 Posted on 08/25/2005 Copyright © 2024 Jim Benz

Posted by Alison McKenzie on 09/10/05 at 09:34 PM I love subatomic particles and that whole perspective. I explore those "pieces" of the universe in relation to whatever the hell it is I'm doing here as a human. I love this little glimpse into what seems to be an intimate moment between you and your son. Blessings. |
