Full Circle

By Joanne Tolson


Do planets influence our lives?  Do we influence theirs?

 

  It has taken 60,000 years from my descent here on Earth for Mars to come back full circle into the Earth's orbit.  From a planet's view we cannot see what they see as they haven't any eyes to see with; the planets speak to us of seasons with their rotations in outer space.  They tell us what seasons are coming and when to plant crops.  They have served our purpose as we have served theirs in life and death alike.

  As in the case of the Mayans, the planet of war is Venus, not Mars.  Mars was the Roman god of war and the planet in antiquity.  He was a Roman god represented by a planet that was as big and important as the Roman religion.

  It takes Mars 60,000 years to come full circle in orbit around the Earth.  What does this mean?  As the saying goes, “Things happen for a reason.”  Is that all just coincidence that they happen?

  We will know for sure, but the planets aligned with our lives do seem to be intertwined.  “Weird” means “fate.”  If weird is fate, then we need not explain why things happen the way they do, any more than we can predict the future, which is full of variables.  Or the elliptical orbits of the planets around the Sun and Earth.  There are some things we just do not have control over, like the planets in our lives or God's plan for us in his Universe.  Nor the forces of the Universe, such as weird gravitational fields, which are harder to explain than laws of physics.  We humans are attracted to each other and repelled to each other, and by each other, as the planets are in the universe we call the Milky Way, our galaxy.  Galaxies are suspended in outer space like egg yokes are suspended inside an egg shell by egg whites.  Let's say the egg whites are anti-gravity and egg yokes are planetary mass suspended inside an egg.  The yoke is repelled and held in place by the eggshell; so is the planetary mass suspended both by gravity and anti-gravity.  Which is what causes planets to travel in their elliptical orbits around other planetary masses, all at the same time like something that would keep us suspended in disbelief.

   Matter is real to us, and anti-gravity, which is invisible to the naked eye but exists, nevertheless, in a fashion.  I was once upon a time called weird, but does that mean or imply that I am fate?  We are all a part of our destiny, but we can control part of it.  But we are “appointed once to die.”  Or, as the Roman saying goes, “The dye is cast.”

   One might say you were “dyed in the wool.”  It's all just a matter of perspective gained from it all.
