In the Zone

A tribute to NASA and to our cousin, Kepler 186-f

Since first we stood in time's embrace
and reverential awe
Celestial mysteries of time
and space
Would rise but rarely fall.

Out there somewhere beyond
our grasp
Unknown to eye or ear
She sailed in silence like
the night
So far and yet so near.

No voice could beckon her our way
No mind knew her intentions
They had to wait another day
We needed new inventions.

Concepts of self and central places
Had blocked inquiring minds
Self importance had to melt away
Such thoughts had made us blind.

Surrounding every distant star
Must be a temperate zone
A corridor of living space
Much like our very own.

Exoplanets one and all
Each having size and weight
We opened up our mental space
And found our perfect mate.

Close, but no cigar. She's probably like us, but still too far. For us to find out, we'll have to wait. But she sure has opened up the lovely gate. Letting all life in both near and far just like your poem from a distant star.

Not to hot.
and not to cold.
We explore the Goldilocks zone,
as mysteries unfold.

Well written,

Each having size and weight, I still wonder how the earth and other planets can hold all their things together. Very well written, Ed, you have been not reading my madness!!?

Darwin's Blind Spot by Frank Ryan

The symbiotic pattern of evolution is everywhere and allows us a very different and fascinating window into the way symbiotic viruses work, since all viruses are symbiotic, including those involved in our human reproduction.

Virus X by Frank Ryan

Where do viruses, such as Ebola and HIV, come from and why they are so aggressive? This book changed tenets of evolutionary virology, developing the concepts of aggressive symbiosis and plague culling, which explain much of the horror of plague virus
