We are stardust, we are a billion particles of broken suns, we are the trails of light long since scattered into nothingness, we are the everything that comes when one thing holds onto another, then another. We are the cosmos made flesh, the black holes, the supernova, we are anti-matter, we are gravity pulling until constellations take to their feet and walk forward into the darkness. We are the song sent out by radiation, by invisible beams of invisible energy, we are the humming of what we swore was emptiness, the melody of everything hiding in plain sight. We are the movement of the Earth, the spinning we forget to claim, we are the blame placed on the heavens we think rotate above us, we the still center we swear never shifts. We are the ticking of invented clocks, the manifestation of time, the creation of a word to make sense of how this skin loosens, how this hair grows long, these eyes become tired. We are the terror at returning to that nothing we forget, at the end, is something after all. We are the space between first breath and last, we are the shaking hands and voice before it becomes one, all that’s never said just as we discover sound.
The day is just beginning but I can already say with certainty these 5 minutes spent cradling my tea and listening will be some of my favourite. Thank you Tyler!
This is beautiful. Have you already published this in one of your books? I would love a book of these longer pieces that you’ve been writing in Signal Fire. And a book of photography.
Good morning Tyler, Today is Peace Day. It is celebrated all over the world every September 21st. The United Nations established this day of peace in 1981. Sending peace to all. Hope you feel it. I think the universe does. Thank you for all you do to spread peace and understanding. Debbie W

This is what I needed to hear this morning. Thank you.
As always, you start my day right. Thanks Tyler.

This reminds me so much of my favorite movie, Only Lovers Left Alive. This is exactly what I needed to round off my evening. Thanks!

Flipping Heck! That was divine and sublime and all the rest! Your words (and therefore you!) are a gift!
