| jihadists and astrophysics
Janet Kuypers 4/5/15 I know gangs in Chicago shoot people on the streets. I know terrorists fly airplanes into buildings, set off bombs in basements. I know jihadists chop off the heads of anyone who doesn’t believe the way they do. # I know these high rises I adore will one day crumble and be reduced to the dust from which we came. I know the sun one day will swell to touch the only earth we know, incinerating our only home. # I know anything I say may only be a shout into a void. # But I also know that I love you, and that love transcends the killings, the destruction. I have loved you since before I was born. This is why I am so lucky that I found you. And there may be gunfire, there may be explosions, buildings may crumble. Our earth’s oceans won’t save us from our red giant sun — but what I have for you, this love I have for you, this love transcends all. It has existed, it does exist, it will always exist. You may believe there are too many things we need to save ourselves from, but we have one constant we cannot forget. My love for you has existed, it does exist, and it will always exist. My love for you will outlast the beheadings, rise above the explosions, transcend the destruction. My love for you transcends the jihadists. It transcends astrophysics. It transcends the earth, the stars, it transcends the elements that make you and I, that make the universe itself. My love for you will always transcend. |
