In a meadow untouched by time's holding whisper, comets flicker in the daily dance among the tender stars. Care for such a traveler is seldom written in manuals, often left to the uncertain guidance of intuition and wonder.
Can one really tend to a comet as they flame through the abyss, or are we mere onlookers enthralled by the passage of their luminous trails? Perhaps, as they streak past in immaculate silence, they weave messages in void space, whispering truths about the ethereal and the earthly entwinement.
Reflect not on what they bring, but what they strip bare. Comets peel away our earthly delusions like cosmic sorcerers. Do we understand, even in a garbled human sense, the arc they carve in the infinite dome overhead?
The care we give to such ephemeral celestial things surely must mimic the fleeting love we extend to the moments of crashing brilliance we call life. Each comet, each second, curls into oblivion and becomes us.
