when I think about you..

..it's bittersweet. But i'm not thinkin about Fantasia(s)......what I'm really thinkin about is... hidden stories...

I've been at home all day, so just now I was thinkin about how my car has been sitting on the street - all day....and how it may sit there again all day tomorrow.. Then I wondered if someone might walk by tomorrow and note its consecutive days of immobility (most likely it will go completely unnoticed...). And if someone DID notice that...perhaps they might wonder about the whereabouts of the vehicle's owner.

Well here I am. Been in my PJs all day but I've still had a rather productive day. Week. Hell, YEAR!!! (And it's not over yet!)

Then I thought of all the other invisible people out there. All the people who I will never see, and all those who I will never meet or speak with either.... I think about that a lot actually: the unknown - but more specifically, that which will NEVER be known.... not simply that which _I_ will never know - but all that which WE will never know.... That's a lot.

There's a universe of information - bodies, events, and perspectives - which no earthbound human will ever be able to witness. It makes me wonder how very large the universe really is, and how many hidden, imperceivable spaces exist within the known (human-perceivable) perimeter/dimension.

The unknown and unknowable is something which fascinates me deeply; of course, how could it ever be explored??? If, according to me, there exists phenomena - bodies, events, and perspectives - for which we haven't yet developed (and most likely never will) the apparatus to perceive....how can we explore the existence of such phenomena? And, of course, there is no way to even begin to verify its existence....and if we can't verify its existence, then why waste time even typing about it? Well, because someone (me) believes in the existence of these imperceivable phenomena.

Maybe I'm just on the hopeless romantic side of geekdom.
