I hadn't considered it until I read your haiku, Dick.
Last year, I looked thru the huge telescope at UNC's Planetarium. It was a cloudy night and they apologized for not being able to show us a nebula. When it was my turn, I saw--clearly--Saturn--rings and all...it was like looking at a god.

woman travelled back in time to now
just to enjoy all the pleasures

movement, breath and
the miracle of being

How can this great love be inside me?
Look at your eyes. They are so small,
but they see enormous things.
