To Evolve - Syd M.

For a star to be born, there is one thing that must happen:

A nebula with clouds of gas and dust must collapse.

So collapse.

Crumble.

That is not your destruction.

For a planet to arise, there is one thing that must happen:

Gravity must take and take everything it needs to consume.

So consume.

Construct.

That is not your disadvantage.

For constellations to reveal, there is one thing that must happen:

Ceremonial or directional connections must be created.

So create.

Compose.

That is not dishonorable.

That is your birth.

A chance to collapse, consume and create new meanings.

Take it and evolve.
