Actually Everything is More Complicated Than It Appears At First

I looked up the article regarding the expanding universe obliterating all traces of its own beginning, because if there is one thing I trust, it’s that my memory is a creative process and has its own very definite set of rules about reliability.

But there WAS an article. Hooray! Here it is.

But wait. The situation is worse than I said. Apparently the total disconnect that we’re all destined to cosmically share is the fault of Dark Energy. Well. How could I have forgotten that crucial point? Especially after the last eight years?

Of course, Dark Energy is always with us. It’s part of the Force. You can’t separate light from shadow and have either exist independently.

Still, it’s easy for me to say that vase over there is blue. But the shadow? At lunchtime I’d swear it was almost pure blue but now I’m hard pressed to say if it’s more violet than brown. Once you look into darkness, matters of color and form become very shifty and depend entirely on your point of view.

Impossible to tell where anything stops, or even begins.
