My share of what is always a MOMENTOUS MLK weekend…. Sciences like astronomy or cosmology hypothesize the construction of the cosmos, space and time that dates back as far 14 billion years ago... (result of the Big Bang Theory!) It is mind boggling to say we have become so advance in technology that we can assert with the laws of physics and the help of mega machines (the size of little cities) that time began approximately “here” that space is not static but constantly expanding, and that all the distribution of elements, gases, minerals etc.; atomically all things we are made of on a sub-cellular level - date back to the “Big Bang” 14 billion years ago. Now, let’s just say for argument sake science interesting assertion is valid and space and time date back 14 billion years (14 eons)... We on the other hand as special organisms of the universe, longevity or life expectancy based on current U.S. census data is 65-72 for males and 75-80 for females respectively . This is without getting into to many details of Black vs White, South Central vs South Hampton etc. etc... So, agreeably 100 years we get to bounce around do what it is we do… Time and Space = 14 billion years, Human Beings = 100 years. When I think of “time” in these terms it puts “microcosm” in perspective, in a different light. So, now here’s the MEAT!!!!!!!! To go in the soup….We spend the majority of our time living, breathing trying to figure life out – get our bearings, learn, grow and so on… An old Italian friend of mines always used to use the pizza analogy (and it seemed to make his point so I’ll use it here) If life is a pizza -----and we slice it up – time is lost worrying, stressing --- the bills, am I slim enough, do look good enough, tall enough, smart enough, what do people think of me on and on., How many slices is that?. You can get so consumed with that stuff that 1) it’s all or the majority of your pizza or 2) there is very little (slice left) for much else – like learning new things, growing, sharing, flourishing, all that is good!!! The challenge here is----- more ingredients better pizza “poppa johns” hahahha just a joke— had to do it with the pizza analogy but seriously the challenge is forcing a new mind set, new frame work, become happy in whatever your skin and learn to live not simply react…. The 100 year game (my new term), in honor of MLK ----is to look at life, yours - those around you as a relatively microcosm of time. And although there are many distractions - as there are stars in space. Your goal is to become energized by maximizing and improving on all that is good – personally and those around you. Class warfare, social structuring, have been a part of civilization for 2 million years…imposing ones will one another is a part of the battle to exist everywhere.. Your goal is to win in your existence, impose your will, do what it is you dream and strive for (Period!!!) Create a Big Bang in your life!! Over and Over My thought, thanks for taking valuable seconds to read--- Great MLK Weekend All Ironmel…..Lets gooooo
