Powers of Ten

An infinitesimal energy,
Mother of all.
Of stars and galaxies and vortices and black holes.
Of planets and comets and asteroids.
Of mountains and oceans.
Of life.
A versatile Earth,
Home to all.
To seas and rivers and icebergs and tundra.
To trees and flowers and fruits.
To animals and birds.
To man.

A controversial human being,
Consumer of all.
Of air.
Of food - beasts and berries alike.
Of water - blood, sweat and tears.
Of plenty – innocence, chastity, hope and love.
A contemporary social animal,
Spawn to all.
From greed, lust, vengeance and spite.
From religion, region and race.
From gender and economy.
From self.

An unbiased child,
Lesson to all.
With head, hunger, hope and heart.
With organs and tissues and cells.
With atoms and molecules.
With one.

Nihilism says humans have no purpose. Creationists believe that a God created us, but they don’t know why he did that. No holy scripture sets out an ultimate goal for humanity. Religion offers subtle guidelines of how to search for purpose, but for the most of it, religion preaches about the greater good. It l...

Am I ready to become a mother?

No, I am not married nor in a committed relationship. No, I am not sexually active nor am I thinking of adoption. Today I am 26 years old and am wondering : am I ready to be a mother? I am thinking about this because there is a right time for everything and today is the right time to wonder about this particular phase of my life. Let me tell you a little more about myself. I am an engineer with a master's degree in control theory and am currently enrolled in a doctoral program. Being a student at this age is not fun. My friends have moved on in their lives and are successful in their jobs, are aspiring home-owners and parents. My family has just moved on and has stopped worrying about me, since I am a grown up. Financial independence means earning enough to cover rent and living in perpetual credit card debt. Add to that the onus of repaying student loans. My long distance relationship ended when my boyfriend did not long for me anymore and became distant. Times two. Getting a PhD ...
