Soliloquy for Saturn

Saturn and the moon Titan
What is our position, relative to all other heavenly bodies in existence?
This question runs through my mind today, as I marvel at a space journey to Saturn that began seven years ago.
The space probe, Cassini, is out there in the deepest blackness, alone,
but it does not comprehend the darkness
and it certainly does not perceive being alone.
Watching the massive machine plod mankind towards greater and greater enlightenment,
my sensible self falls away in wonder.
We see Cassini; and it sees us,
but who else is observing this evolutionary event, 930 million miles away from earth?
The probe is out there and fundamentally,
so are we.
Tethered by science, connected to the unknown, in a fascinating dance of technology and faith.
As we enter into the heart, the soul, the cradle of existence, what do we really hope to find?
A mirror image of mans own reflection?
Validation that we are unique or proof that we are not?
As Cassinis eyes stare out at the past, present and future of all.....
I am humbled at the thought of what this endeavor is really all about.
Are we actually in search of God or ourselves as God?
It is a big question with even bigger ramifications.
If we find proof of our immortality in this blackened expanse of space and time, will we no longer need to believe in God, or will it be the discovery that makes us true believers?
