Insomnious Blathering

Sometimes the energy required to engage in my daily duties wears me down.  The simplicity of the mountain beckons me and I must obey – else the emotive residual s gathered over the week will fester into something dark and ugly.  So like Alice and the ‘looking glass’ I step through to the other side to share stories with the Walrus about many important things i.e. cabbages and kings.  And the darkness will wash over me as it always does – and I will return renewed.

It is very late.  And I am obviously near delirium.  But the condition of sleep mercilessly evades me (again).  It is my own fault – I have been very remiss in my exercise regimen – so much that I can hardly call it a regimen.  So my mind, fueled by excess blood sugar, continues to process late at night despite my having 'clicked' shutdown.  Hopefully the weekend adventures will rekindle the workout energy, and hopefully the following week’s daily toil will not drain me of the energy needed to climb up onto my stairway to nowhere (the Stairmaster) ---- the end-all, be-all burner of a day’s residual blood sugar.

Something Wonderful

Reading on the topic claiming that Einstein’s llamda constant may have been correct after all (Einstein considered the theory to be his biggest blunder) has me contemplating space-time-infinity - again.  But to the point of my current thoughts which do not directly relate to llamda – I still only subscribe to the assignment of infinity to Space (the visible Universe and beyond) and Time (the clockwise measurement of existence) – that to attempt discussing a "beginning" (or ending) of either is pointless and absurd.  The notion of limited space or that there is nothing beyond the visible universe is an example of human desire to quantify and understand everything, coupled with the inability to grasp the concept of "never-ending" - infinity.

Discoveries in astronomy and physics indicate (beyond a reasonable doubt) that the visible elements of our universe did in fact begin with the cosmic event referred to as the “Big Bang”, which begs the question: What was existence before the Big Bang?  From a logical perspective, the “nothingness” theory is of course absurd. Spontaneous existence from nothing is not permissible by any sense of reason or rationality.

So we don't know what precipitated the cosmic singularity from which our visible universe ensued.  But we can be damned sure it was something.  Something wonderful.
