“The stars gaze downward upon my soul, and I upon theirs.
My mind, a microcosm of an infinitesimally vast universe,
who gives and takes, but only in time.
In time: a cyclical process of death and creation,
In time: my soul, whose upward gaze is unceasing, lives on.
and in time: I find myself in the world, and the world in myself.
To ponder this outwardly is to ponder this inwardly,
to gaze upon the stars, is to know the universe as a microcosm of the mind.”

Beautiful and deep!
There are undertones of Whitman here (a high compliment).
Sort of like a 21st century cosmic “Song of Myself.”

Also– the contemporary philosopher Francois Laruelle.
“The Universe was in the world and the world did not see it.”
I’ll send you some of his work.
Great job, Woodley. We were very fortunate to have you in class.
