Just Thinkin'

Science is grappling with the mysterious forces of “dark matter” and “dark energy”. These forces act, both, to attract matter, and to propel it. They call them “dark”, because they can't be seen, in the blackness of space. I suspect that “invisible”, “ethereal” or “non-material” forces would be more fitting.

As I pause to imagine what they could be, my initial instinct, is to surmise that they are effects of consciousness. The compulsion to understand, drawing things together, trying to form some sort of tangible, recognizable order. And the yearning of curiosity, perpetually seeking newness, pushing beyond boundaries and into the vast expanses of the unknown.

The yin and yang of minds most basic, primordial drives. Greater influences, by far, than all the matter in the perceivable universe. Condensing and dissipating everything that is, in an eternal dance of creation and dissolution. Perfectly paired opposites, responsible for all movement, and all of existence. Infinite mind, willing the universe's very being.

But that's just me ... thinkin' through my fingers.
