When Bambi met Godzilla

I am contemplating the larger view of things today – “world without end” and the “almighty,” and such.

Everything is a matter of perspective and viewpoint, isn't it?

Unsuspecting Bambi didn't see or hear the giant foot from Godzilla pounding down from above. As Bambi munched a last nibble of fresh grass, she didn't know that it was the last bite, or that it would not be swallowed or that in seconds all would stop because her chemistry would stop.

Others in the forest might have watched the incident, while scrambling for cover. “Oh, she is one of us, and that could happen to me,” they might have thought. Always look up while eating, they might conclude.

Godzilla was just walking along looking for large insects or a way back to home to Tokyo or something. He felt real bad when he saw what was stuck to the bottom of his foot. “Did I do that,” he asked of the crowd?

Bambi's molecular structure decomposed in the woods, bringing substance to those that like rotting Bambi, and life goes on, endlessly, infinitely we like to think. Life can be viewed in a microscope, from a telescope, and in the end, it appears kaleidoscopic doesn't it?

Thanks to Marv Newland for the excellent treatise.

Doxology

“A doxology (from the Greek doxa, glory + logos, word or speaking) is a short hymn of praises to God in various Christian worship services, often added to the end of canticles, psalms, and hymns. The tradition derives from a similar practice in the Jewish synagogue,[1] where some version of the Kaddish serves to terminate each section of the service.”
