First Word: Mary Judith Ress: Surprise

Surprise


The universe is full of surprises.  In fact, it is Surprise Itself, in its ongoing flaring forth.  From that first contraction when some dot of helium emerged from the dark nothingness, to the formation of galaxies and their billions of stars, to our own Mother Star, and then on to us, this planet, these trees, and mountains and rivers and we poor besotted humans who really are made of stardust.  Yes, continual surprise shooting out at me from yesterday´s goo-ing from the latest granddaughter as she munched on her thumb—13 billion years in the making.
