Seeking Center

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

English,

my Human Centered Language,

permits me to conclude 

that "Sun rises",

meaning Earth

must be 

Center 

of Universe.

More specifically,

wherever I, 

as Human, 

am,

I am

Center 

of Universe.

That is an Anthropocentric view,

for which my Culture is known.

But rather Earth 

spins on Her Axis,

giving Daylight and Dark.

She rotates around Sun.

And Sun with family of Planets

rotates around some Center 

in the Milky Way Galaxy,

which I see stretched 

in a large band across Night Sky.

I am just riding along.

There's more to know,

Dear Child of the Universe.

I know so little of these things.

The little I know

and the more I am aware 

of how little I know

fills me with 

Awe, 

Gratitude, 

Reverence, 

Respect.
