Tchaikovsky - Hymn of the Cherubim
We live in a dynamic universe powered by change.
Everything changes:
planets, stars and galaxies -
atoms, molecules and cells -
flowers, trees and people.
There is life here. There is love here. . . . and mysteries.
We come, we go. Everything comes, everything goes.
It’s natural. It’s astonishing. It’s even beautiful.
New journeys, new dreams, require new worldviews.
Long ago, friends unsatisfied with religion asked for my help.
I promised them a survey of modern science for curious non-scientists.
Fifty years later, after many bumps in the road, here is what I promised.
Here we will survey what we have learned since Columbus sailed 500 years ago
and build a new vision of our world today - a twenty-first century worldview.
Come, my friends, ’Tis not too late to seek a newer world.
Come, my friends,
’Tis not too late to seek a newer world.
Push off, and sitting well in order smite
The sounding furrows; for my purpose holds
To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths
Of all the western stars, until I die.
It may be that the gulfs will wash us down:
It may be we shall touch the Happy Isles,
And see the great Achilles, whom we knew.
Tho’ much is taken, much abides; and tho’
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
— Tennyson. . .
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
