The Earth rotates on its chosen orbit that only took 3.8 Billion years to fine tune.
The expansion of the Universe continues unabated stretching into its 14th Billion year, slowly sapping the energy out of each expanding Solar System, Galaxy and Black Hole.
But the eventual loss of all energy and even the diminishment of Time itself is not something any earthly mortal need worry about.
My distress is focused on the Relativity of Love!
We meet, court and fall in Love. It appears from our sense of time within our new gravitational well that we have spent 30 glorious minutes together.
As we break orbits to move into those with lesser gravitational pulls around much lower mass objects, we find that 10 years has passed on Earth. We are pleasantly surprised to find us happily married, homeowners now, with 3 kids and a dog.
Our new earthly orbits are only temporary, the pull of our love is so strong, similar to the seduction of a black hole against all matter, and we are pulled once again into the gravity well of love.
We linger, within our gravity well, for what seems only another 30 minutes before we are pulled free to once again subsist in the weaker gravitational orbit of Earthly life. We are jolted, upon returning to earth's orbit, that another 10 years has passed on Earth. Timing marching on with child rearing, new and old dogs, High School Graduations and a 20 year wedding anniversary.
As reliable as a fall equinox we are again pulled into the gravity well of our love. Just another 30 earthly minutes is all we want and get. Emerging once again, into the lesser gravitational pull of earth. Earthly time has continued to move on, in excess of our wants, needs, expectations and/or desires.
We are now surprised to find that we have survived college graduations, more dog's and anniversaries as well. Earthly time is now starting to wreak havoc on our biological and human form that is forcing changes in behavior and maintenance practices.
But the pull from Love's Gravity well is strong and I feel the pull on our earthly orbit, once again, overlapping.
I realize it does not make evolutionary sense, from the earthly view of time, but I would trade my last 30 years of earthly time, for another 30 minutes of rapturous orbiting while captured and trapped for a seeming eternity, within love's pull.
Earthly time be dammed!
