It is the #Eternal #Chicken. We can observe the echoes of its hatching as the #cosmic #background #radiation from the Big Bang. Eventually it will grow larger than the #universe itself, at which point everything will collapse into a new #singularity and be reborn in another unimaginable blast of fire and fury. The #phoenix myth reflects our ancestors' dim understanding of this cosmic truth.
A fairly recent aerial shot of Denver and the Front Range. Yes, I'm old enough to say things like "I remember when half of this was farmland!" My mountains (I'm old enough to say that too) are increasingly crowded, and the city has drastically outgrown its infrastructure. I'm a bit *too* old to enjoy the constant surge of people the way I used to: I've been a city boy all my life, but lately I find myself craving quiet.
With all that said, I surely do love this place. My mountains, my city, my street, my block. Home.
I particularly love the idea of #supernatural #beings brought into existence by #modern #technology.
You know what, I never want to hear my fellow members of #GenerationX complaining about #Boomers ever again.

All too often, when I finally do learn what happened to them, it's permanent. I know this will only get worse as the years go by.
