On Learning on the Clearest Night Only 6000 Stars Are Visible to the Naked Eye

If seeing only 6000 stars with the naked eye awestrucks us to topple in drunken ecstasy Or piss looking up in devout praise of being, What would happen if we could truly perceive, comprehend and experience the zillions of stars galaxies universes pastpresentfuture? And if, as scientists agree, we only use 10% of our brain’s potential, Then the astonishment we sense is only 10% of the astonishment we could sense, And so it would seem that what seems like dots of light twinkling in pretty patterns moving across the black is really enough to shatter us like goblets when the soprano hits the highest note. And if the 10% of the brainpower we do use is ignorant of 99.9% of the totality of the Universe, perhaps a li’l vino in our goblet ain’t a bad idea— Perhaps a flask of wine in deep wilderness night is more powerful than the largest telescope.
