Interesting Moves

[Guest guest]

As you sleep your 8 hrs. a night,

you, your bed, and the Earth go

536,000 miles around the sun.

During that same time you, and

the solar system traveled,

166 million miles around the galaxy.

That is fast! 1/1000 of the speed of light.

At a slighter more leisurely pace, you,

and the galaxy drifted toward Andromeda

at 80 miles per second, or roughly five

millions miles in eight hours. All these,

as space itself expands at 14 miles per

second. Who says you're not going places!

And yet, you don't feel a thing, only the

serenity of an immobility which isn't there.

 

Well, you probably are thinking: this is

totally off-topic, but think again, there

is an obvious nondual theme there,

somewhere.
