“CIRCLES OF LIFE

Everything
Turns,
Rotates,
Spins,
Circles,
Loops,
Pulsates,
Resonates,
And
Repeats.

Circles
Of life,
Born from
Pulses
Of light,
Vibrate
To
Breathe,
While
Spiraling
Outwards
For
Infinity
Through
The lens
Of time,
And into
A sea
Of stars
And
Lucid
Dreams.

“Women were gravitating towards him from all directions like a planetary orbit.
(Zoe on meeting Justus)”
― Dannika Dark, Sterling

“Your path is illuminated by a road-map of stars. I am here to guide you!”
― Ambika Devi

“...He sat back on his heels and watched the stars one by one cut their way through onrushing darkness, till all was reversed, day was night, and the blackness glittered with all the desert's sands, each a tiny flame beyond the bounds of time.”
― Mike Bond, The Last Savanna

“In the long run, you see, none of that matters.

I've seen Heaven, Dowling. And it's not a place where you exercise any power.

In the long run, we are all three-dimensional side-effects of a two-dimensional universe existing in a multidimensional stack.”
― Warren Ellis

“Uncle Yuichi: Something's moving up there? Hmm... I don't see anything. It was probably a satelite.

Punpun (with gums flapping): Could I have discovered a new planet?!

(long pause)

Yuichi: Yes! This could be a great discovery! If it really is a new planet... It'll be called Planet PunPun!

Punpun (slobbering again): Do you think I'll win the Nobel Prise?!

Yuichi: You sure are a greedy kid.”
― Inio Asano, Goodnight Punpun Omnibus, Vol. 1

“By necessity there are other characteristics that are not accounted for, that are not measured, and that remain hidden and occulted. Anything that reveals itself does not reveal itself in total. This remainder, perhaps, is the "Planet". In a literal sense the Planet moves beyond the subjective World, but it also recedes behind the objective Earth. The Planet is a planet, it is one planet among other planets, moving the scale of things out from the terrestrial into the cosmological framework. Whether the Planet is yet another subjective, idealist construct or whether it can have objectivity and can be accounted for as such, is an irresolvable dilemma. What's important in the concept of the Planet is that it remains a negative conceit, simply that which remains "after" the human. The Planet can thus be described as impersonal and anonymous.”
― Eugene Thacker, Starry Speculative Corpse

“What are we talking about when we talk about heart? As it may prove to be for coral polyps and tube sponges, the heart we obsess over in so many of our stories and sagas is not a mere pump or knot of muscle, but rather a core essence from which some cadence of being arises, thrums of ongoings that comprise the fierce living on this planet, this rock—itself a larger venture in the shaping of patterns into a strand of music three-plus billion years in the making, played out against the backdrop of an older community that may or may not be listening, a universal commonwealth from which Mystery with a capital M resides, even as it rises and falls to its own incalculable rhythm—all of which are very much beyond the scope of this guide.”
― Isaac Yuen, Utter, Earth: Advice on Living in a More-than-Human World
