The Only Fortunate Thing You have an idea of yourself. It is a kind of building. This building stands on the sound of your heart-beat, the imaginary width of rhythm. All night it stands there. On a sound, an imaginary width. It is fortunate, really— really, the only fortunate thing— that there is no one in the building.

“To write a poem you must first create a pen that will write what you want to say. For better or worse, this is the work of a lifetime.”

—Jim Harrison
Earnestly avoid seeking without Lest it recede far from you. Today I am walking alone, Yet everywhere I meet them. They are now no other than myself, But I am not now them. It must be understood this way In order to merge with Suchness. —Tung-shan

Edwin Hubble was born #OTD in 1889. He established spiral nebulae as separate galaxies, and combined distance measurements with Vesto Slipher’s redshift data to show a linear relationship between a galaxy’s distance and recession velocity – now understood as evidence for an expanding universe. 🧪 🔭 ⚛️
Black and white photo of Edwin Hubble in a tweed suit, sitting at a desk. He is smoking a pipe -- held up to his mouth with his left hand -- and looking at the camera. Smoke from the pipe curls around his head. Hubble's thinning hair is mussed, and his right hand rests on the desk with a pencil between his fingers. Photo emulsion plate of Hubble's famous "VAR!" discovery. This is a photonegative plate of an image of the Andromeda Galaxy, with several small annotations made in grease pencil. One of them was previously marked "N" for "nova," but the N has been crossed out and replaced with an excited "VAR!" to indicate a Cepheid Variable. Black and white line drawing figure from one of Hubble's papers, showing the linear best-fit to distance vs red-shift data.

It's okay that it's over. Leaving is a lesson of pleasure. My ribs, sets of parentheses. My heart, an aside, an apple ready for the twist. My legs around your hips, a pillory, our shame public to the night. Tulip shadows on the nightstand, an apology marooned and lightless, each bite mark on your shoulder synonymous with grief. You ask me to scrape the match against the red phosphorus of goodbye in a way that makes you believe it. I ask to be the one on top, the one struck bright when God pours out the lightning.
