In my life, my dear, looking for the light, I found an endless night. No abyss, but when a gleam illuminated the road, it was raining too much to leave. And when the rain stopped it was too wet to walk away barefoot.

The universe is all about space and time and their contents. The universe is like a container, or better to say, a lot of containers one into another; just like the typical Russian doll called Matryoshka. The universe is the container that makes everything possible. Just being as it is. Existent. In the universe, the role for which the holding of things is made possible, is called communion. The complementary sense of things. No one like the other, no one more or less important than the other. All together in the common attempt to be. All proud to be.
