Observations: Nine and Six (edited from Seven and Seven, plus Eighteen 09/09/09) I know I’m supposed to be the creative one but I started my schooling in computer science engineering if I ever write anything, it’s not creative, it’s what makes sense       which is what I feel I fly in airplanes I jump from airplanes I pilot airplanes trying to get closer to the stars so maybe I’m not a writer maybe I’m an observer an astronomer looking out past the Kuiper Belt trying to understand what makes everything everything I have walked on the tops of glaciers crouching down from the violent winds looking down into the beginning of time I have watched solar storms and the geomagnetic aberrations of the Aurora Borealis from near the Arctic Circle I may have even bought some potato vodka in Russia or been there to held your hand walking on the Great Wall of China molecule by molecule, we originate from stars but outer space is a violent place and if we are all linked we feel the good and the evil we see meteor showers while galaxies collide watch comet tails in the night sky as comets smash into planets we witness the death of stars we learn from both the living and the dead because yes, we are linked and we are all observers and I don’t want to let you go Copyright © 2009 Janet Kuypers.
