Cacophony of the Spheres

“God, who is everywhere and nowhere,
is [the universe’s] circumference and center.”
-Nicolas of Cusa

After all these years,
the Copernican revolution never really made it
down to earth:
here we still say,
“the sun comes up,
the sun goes down.”

Our naked eyes persist to
resist reality—
perspective rules!

After all,
if the universe is infinite,
its center is everywhere.
And wherever we are,
here we are—
each with our little mind at
the center of the universe.
