the universe is: everywhere and forever everything all at once it contains all the secrets all the questions all the answers be careful what you ask for it's beautiful it's dreadful it's lifegiving it's deadly it's sublime it's violent things we're left to ponder: does the universe have a purpose or a goal - or [as is a probable scientific conclusion] is all of the evolution we see just an unavoidable phenomenon? as we observe the universe does it in some way observe us? if it does observe us does it in some distant way care? llp - dA - oct2022 DD - dec02-2022
