Scientists tell us that the universe is billions of years "old" with billions of stars in billions of galaxies. Latest research reported from European researchers informs us that 'they have discovered a batch of three "super-Earths" orbiting a nearby star, and two other solar systems with small planets as well. They said their findings, presented at a conference in France, suggest that Earth-like planets may be very common. "Does every single star harbour planets and, if yes, how many?" asked Michel Mayor of Switzerland's Geneva Observatory.'

From the magnitude of time and space I spiral into the human condition. There are only two real questions of magnitude: Is there a God? & Does God love us? There are only whispers of answers.

The human heart at its core is loving and caring. Seeking the good of others. A restless heart, only finding peace in God to paraphrase Augustine. Whispers found in all world religions and philosophies give one pause for thought, and an appreciation that the sunsets point towards a sunrise in the opposite direction.

I have delved deeply into marriage counselling sans partner the past years and discovered that the best counsellors have found that when they encourage people to peel back the layers of their lives, the innermost core is good and seeks the best for the other.

When I peel back the layers of the universe as is known I find a wonder and care that speaks to me of God and love.

Time is more than just linear. Life appears linear, but so much of my life has become loop-like, spiral like and circular that one cannot just claim randomness.
Things that meant a lot to me 30+ years ago have become available again, and I wonder at the meanings.

There are random occurrences of repetition and that which seemed gone and forgotten re-surfaces and sheds new light on the past.

Moments of grace and wonder abound. Plans collapse and other things, better things occur within the time frame of the previous, seemingly important or satisfying, plans.

Old habits rear their head again, and humble me. Within it all Mother Julian whispers :all will be well, all manner of thing will be well, and the universe resonates thus as well.

I am well pleased with life.
