The laws of entropy say that things fall apart - they don't reassemble into a whole…they fragment and fray.  It's like this with people too. The energy in us dissipates, scatters - it exudes into the ether and becomes part of the noise of chaos.  But when things fall apart, they crack.  In a way, cracks are lines of connection between two points that would otherwise remain apart - I sometimes see the connections between people as cracks in the void.

I woke up to another dilemma of choice - to simply sing or to SAY something. I wish to God there were more time in the day to explore.  Songs are important statements of belief - helping forge others' views on the world and connecting them with another reality.  We belong to each other - each bound by our connections, however tenuous and distant they may be.  I don't like wasting connection - to reach out and grab someone's attention and then say…nothing useful; it makes me feel like I'm missing something essential - an opportunity to do something important. 

In the early universe, it was imperfection - a flaw in the state of energy, that allowed matter to form.  It was this imperfection that led to stars, planets, life…us.  The cracks in the smooth, unending and homogenous perfection that birthed the cosmos as we know it - cracks in the glass.  

In some sense…in a real sense, the cracks are all that is.
