Boxed in!
It was slow but it was life.
It was slow because it was cold.
But even cold, slow life wants to live.
Enclosed in a tiny container, this life floated lazily tumbling in the vast nothingness of the universe.
Enclosed in a tiny container, life developed.
Slow. Very slowly. Because it was very cold.
But it developed steadily.
Finally, after eons of patience, life remembered something.
It remembered itself.
It knew it was there. Self-assured.
But it was slow.
Outside, the universe was rushing at brutal speed. Cold and numb.
It was already green in the container.
Slowly, but green.
It was cold, but green.
Outside, the universe was rushing at brutal speed. Cold and numb.
And finally – very coldly and very slowly – life found a way out of the container!
Because even slow curiosity cannot be stopped if it only burns hot enough.
Finally! For the first time an eye looked out of the container.
It had taken a long time. Because it was very cold.
Finally, an alert, seeing eye gazed in amazement at the universe.
Late though, but this was the moment it happened.
Outside, the universe was rushing at brutal speed. Cold and callous – and at that moment he was at his end.
A seeing eye, smeared with tears, closed slowly but steadily. Because it was very cold.

Love is the light that guides us through the dark
And the love that we have is the best thing that’s ever happened
We’re so in love that we can’t imagine life without it
And we’ll always be together, no matter what happens
