What is it that you contain? The dead. Time. Light patterns of millennia opening in your gut. Every minute, in each of you, a few million potassium atoms succumb to radioactive decay. The energy that powers these tiny atomic events has been locked inside potassium atoms ever since a star-sized bomb exploded nothing into being. Potassium, like uranium and radium, is a long-lived radioactive nuclear waste of the supernova bang that accounts for you.
Your first parent was a star.

What a deep thought to contemplate… I never heard of Jeanette Winterson before. Will have to see if I can get my hands on one of her books. Thank you for introducing me to someone new!
I’ve read a couple of her books, Barbara. I love the way she describes things. 🙂

I’ll have to track Winterson down too – I like that. And coupled with two beautiful shots as well. Very nice.
Hi Norm. Good to see you. 🙂
Winterson’s writing is wonderful.
