🧬 IDENTITY

A grasshopper sits on a leaf.
The leaf is wide.
The branch bends like a road.
The tree is a world.
He sees sunlight, a passing ant, the shadow of a bird.
He hears a breeze.
He does not know about the hill.
He does not see the forest.
He cannot reach the river.
He will never visit the sky.

Grasshoppers don’t ask.

🧠 PHILOSOPHY

A human stands on Earth.
The Earth is wide.
It circles the Sun.
The Sun moves through a galaxy.
The galaxy travels with others in a group.
The group belongs to a supercluster.
Many of those make up the visible Universe.
And what lies beyond we can only guess.
And still, it is described as if held in a single span.
Too small for what’s beyond.

We ask.

🗣️ LANGUAGE

We use symbols to name what we cannot understand.

We say “universe” for everything.
We say “cluster” for galaxies.
We say “light-year” for distance too far to walk.
We say “throne” for a center we cannot see.
We say “hand” for a size we cannot measure.
We say “glory” for greatness we cannot explain.

Simple words contain big ideas.

Just as the universe contains whole galaxies.

đź“– LITERACY

Unlike speech, writing does not disappear.
It can be read again—exactly as it was written.

Through writing, we read the thoughts of people from long ago.
They saw the same sky and recorded what they believed.

“The heavens are declaring the glory of Jehovah.”

Literacy is memory you can hold.

It is thinking made visible.

It is the only way a message can cross galaxies of time—
and still arrive just as it was sent.

🧭 ETHICS

“There is not a word on my tongue,

but look! O Jehovah, you already know it well.”

 

We do not know how it works.

We cannot measure its speed.

But our thoughts matter.

 

What we send out travels far.

And it reaches places we cannot see.

That makes us responsible for what we think about.
