Knowledge's Frontier.

Goldfinch60



All through our lives we learn,

We learn new things

That improve our experience,

Of our knowledge or life

And beyond.

We move beyond the earth,

Into space,

Into the Universe,

Forever increasing our knowledge.

We examine the stars,

The galaxies.

The vastness of our knowledge

Knows no bounds

Until that time we came to them

We came to the black holes and realised,

Realised that they are the frontier,

The frontier of our knowledge.

    But didn't you and I go further than black holes? At least we there on the moon to meet the first earthlings. And are we (us two) completely human?!
    And why was I left in a black hole? I only said 'I'm gonna sing!' lol.

      I remember you there Orchi - you were wearing that red medieval number and waving a cudgel.

      • Goldfinch60

        We go and have been every where Orchi.

        • orchidee

          Yep, we've been further than Star Trek Gold. Did Michael join us too? We've been where no one has gone before, etc, etc.

          • Michael Edwards

            I was there - I put the duck board over the black hole.

            Enjoyed the write - the mere thought of it all is more than I can comprehend but I guess I'm not alone.

              Ditto - I can't understand why - since "they" have so messed up this planet and can't even get this right - "they" are now going to prowl around in space and go looking to cause more trouble there (not to mention spend tax dollars on it) ..... oh dear that sounds as if I'm against science and am absolutely NOT! I guess I just worry about whose hands the knowledge is in..... you're right - there is fascinating information out there.

                Thank you both for your comments, I am a firm believer in that we are being watched from space and being laughed at the mess we are making of our planet.

                Personally anything with a front ear seems a step too far to me. I dunno why they replaced "eee - bah-gum" with E=Mc2 in the first place - it's not poetic.

                I found Sarah Vaughn more on the spot as a jazz singer for that era. And of course latterly i'd invite anyone to better the late Amy Winehouse who took it into a whole new realm - superb!

                • Goldfinch60

                  I have seen Sarah Vaughn live and yes she is very good but as far as I am concerned Ella could sing a telephone directory and it would still be wonderful.

                  Great write.

                  • Goldfinch60

                    Thank you Gino, most kind.

                    Andy,

                    Like children, we always want more!

                    My love to Joyce and you!

                    ~Laura~

                    • Goldfinch60

                      Thank you Laura, very true.

                      Andy
