Letters to the Void, #2

Dear Void,

Hopelessness and hopefulness go hand-in-hand like optimism and pessimism, or like faith and faithlessness. The pendulum swing from one to the other makes for good drama, perhaps, but it makes for stress in our everyday lives.

Dear Void,

You are much fuller than people suspect upon first impression. I previously misunderstood just how vibrant your vast emptiness actually was. Instead of limitless vacuum out there in the universe, there are enormous bands of gas churning in and out of galaxies like breath. There are energies known and, assuredly, unknown. There is a dark, even the utter darkness in the pupil of a black hole, but that dark, while terrifying, is yet beautiful and magnificent. I wonder... are there not byways crisscrossing over that big black? Are there yet the jet-trails of those who have passed before?
