Interplanetary Bodies

Most of this post is  from a diary entry I wrote back in May of 2012.  I thought I'd elaborate on it since this is my blog.

Relationships is like gravity between interplanetary bodies.  Because these bodies have its own gravitational forces, they are constantly attracting and repelling each other, each influencing the other.  It doesn't matter the density of these planets, it could be Jupiter with one of its moons, a random comet grazing the atmosphere of Earth, or a pair of binary planets orbiting each other.

Sometimes this push/pull is harmonious, circling around a benevolent star that is our hearts.  Other times we get too close to each other, and we begin a perilous dance of trying to compensate because our balance is off, while still maintaining our own spinning axis.

It is this push/pull that defines us, our relationships.  It is how we deal with this that determines if we crash and burn, hurling towards the sun, or if we maintain our elliptical orbits.  Yes, even interplanetary bodies expire.  But, perhaps the traces of these planets reach a curious telescope light years away, in another galaxy.
