A tiny blue planet was moving through the chaos of the universe.
She was panicking because her movement was not in her control. She felt stuck, small, and alone. She had no aim of her own.
She could only move according to the sun and the things around it. And the sun seemed so far away.
She watched other planets crash and collide. Boom! Bamm! It was disturbing and she wanted to hide.
The little planet was tense and scared. She was afraid that she could crash into something and her life would fade away.
One day, at a distance, she looked at the sun with reverence. she saw a shimmering smile and heard a sound that hummed. It was so brief and familiar. She was overwhelmed with goodness. She could not forget this.
She then looked at the whole view of where she was: the vastness of the cosmos, bright and majestic and equally mundane.
Somehow, she felt at home there. She realized that even if she crashed into something, she would still be a part of everything. How could she have ignored all of this?
As she watched the beautiful chaos, she saw how gloriously small she was. It was clear that the magic was beyond her.
Beyond her wanting or not wanting, her panic turned into calm and poise, no longer disturbed by the noise.
As she surrendered the need for control, she gained a new feeling of trust and self-awareness.
She felt at ease with the unease of new feelings and became one with the chaos like a musical symphony.
