Stories

The cosmos unfolds as it must according to the physical laws it created for itself in its earliest seconds. When it stumbles into life, it accepts randomness, probability and improbability, and keeps on going.

Human life stories the cosmos. It slathers on its mythologies, its spiritual narratives, its dreams, its fantasies, its confessions, its yearnings--all its cultural stories in text, sound and image. All chasing after meaning.

Evolution flows inexorably, heedless of meaning, heedless of beauty, heedless of all these human concoctions, not showing the least pride in the creations of its own creation.
