All of the words, and no words at all

Rating: 10/10 (19 November 2014)

On my mind. Filling it, rather. Have been thinking and will continue to think, about Interstellar. It is a thing such that at once there are no words at all, and there are all of the words. When we have a feeling we can't identify, or we don't know how to explain, instead of feeling all of it and letting it expand and carrying it through to its end, we find words that pre-exist and force that unknown feeling into the words we already have, requiring it to fit into one word or another, and that becomes the manifestation of our thoughts. This is how language limits most of us, how our thoughts are shaped by the vocabulary available to us. Neil deGrasse Tyson, the master, said that. And so don't read if you don't want, but I thought - why not write out all the feeling in the words I can, as I'm no Shakespeare ready to create a new word for this feeling. SO it's a lot of words, because cramming this feeling into just a few didn't seem right. If experiencing this film, doesn't change your life.. the way you walk upon the earth, the way you live, any or every element of it, your thoughts of people, nature, machine, of this planet, other planets, the stars in the skies, the moon, this galaxy, all of the galaxies, this whole entire expansive expanding universe, the multiverse, time, big time, lifetimes, our relationship to time, curvature of spacetime, space, space exploration, parents, children, fathers and daughters, light, dark, life, dying, death, loss, the land we walk on, the air we breathe, fire, water, food, farming, engineering, physics, astrophysics, field theory, string theory, forces of nature at their deepest and most mathematical levels, particles, waves, particle wave duality, quantum mechanics, 3 dimensions, 4th dimension, beyond, space and time coordinates, past, present, future, duty, determination, commitment, persistence, sacrifice, art, science, risk, reward, confidence, fear, survival, will, selfishness, selflessness, quarks, quasars, limits, ways in which those limits can be surpassed, collision, expansion, evolution, relativity, cosmic perspective, black holes, wormholes, love, energy, gravity, gravitons, and everything in between, if it doesn't make you hug the people you love tighter, and love the people you love more, if it doesn't leave you exhilarated, if it doesn't leave you heartbroken, if it doesn't leave you curious, if it doesn't leave you shaking, if it doesn't leave you hopeful, if it doesn't leave you thinking, and hoping, and acting and living your best and truest and most full and expansive life, not just for yourself, but for a future that can be better if we ourselves make it better, mostly by making ourselves better, if it doesn't make you feel like shouting from a rooftop, better yet a mountain, better yet from the core of your being to the entire echoing universe, that you feel the energy and the love in your life and their pull, that you are going to live a life to source that wherever it leads you, to follow it forever, and try your best to understand and share, if it doesn't leave you thinking that there are larger forces and energies, if it doesn't remind you how minuscule we are but at the same time how important it is that we work for and care for each other as we are all that we are certain we have thus far, if it doesn't leave you thinking that we are our problem in so many ways, but we are also our solution, leaving us interested in who we are and where we come from as individuals and as a species and as a planet and as a solar system and as a galaxy, so we can better contribute to where we may go, asking what can be done, and what can't be done, knowing that we absolutely must try our best to see, to hear, to ask who what when where, how, why, and why not, if it doesn't lead us to preserve, to search, to discover, to understand, and before it's too late, to admit what we do not understand, lest we be left in the dust of this planet.. the fact that a film like this could be made, and the science and engineering very close to this could exist, though some of the science entirely wrong, artistic license galore as we should all expect, it is however the extinction-at-our-own-hand trope but faced with much hope and so much energy geared toward the future.. if it doesn't leave you with all of this and more? if you didn't allow it to open your eyes and expand your mind and your heart.. ..well then i just don't know. but I really do think that you should think more about it, or go see it again.
