sometimes the abyss stares back

Posted on June 20, 2025July 14, 2025 by Ellen Eldridge

It’s 80 degrees as the sun sets minutes before 9 p.m. on the longest day of the year. The day with the most light seems like the perfect time to make time for reflection on the shorter days that came before.

Peak sunshine at the end of a rainy week. Tears fall across my smile. I hate myself.

Sometimes the abyss stares back.

Healthy relationships grow and change and allow for space. Love once created cannot be destroyed. Emotional intelligence comes with self-awareness.

Studies of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), tell us that light predates matter and even neutral particles themselves. The CMB is the afterglow of the Big Bang still found everywhere in the universe, as the background scenery to the intergalactic pagentry before us. It isn’t stationary. Such waves bounce around everywhere, including into the Earth, where they can be detected.

Something needed to occur, a period of intense energy buildup that wasn’t caused by matter, antimatter, or radiation. Scientists suggest it must’ve been some kind of super-intense, dark energy event.

I don’t have the words today to make a scene.
