a Star said

“I’m tired of falling through space.”

the Universe said unto it

“Dearest star.. You are not falling, you’re racing with time and one day you will collide in such a way …that will make the question of falling humorous.”

the Star looked in upon itself, tucked in its outer shell, seeming to implode… then…

billions of years later

EXPLODED.

“Why did that take so long” said the Star?

the Universe gave this reply.

“We all must do our part and we all have a critical role for the development of all things, no matter the scale. If one holds back EVERYONE suffers. You see, suffering is the elongated awareness of times passage.
Now go shine… there is a system of planets that hasn’t seen the light since their creation 400 years ago.”
