Memories that unite us all.

The universe needs no memory to exist but we are part of a memory tree.

A tree with roots in chaos, its trunk in all that is and a branching crown that is aware.

See the roots and there is the union between disorder and continuity, time playing with patterns that continue in repetitions of the same; chemicals, molecules, atoms, mighty planets not one of them with a sense of here or there.

Look at the trunk  and see the start of memory, mindless remnants of repetition and time. The sounds of wind echoing in the hollows, magnetic fields that linger in the rocks, the inter-reactions that leave familiar traces in the soil; these are memories that unite us all. But they are just a part of memories evolvement, a side alley as they are not aware; they know not one of the other and still they have no care.

High up in the branches of this tree we view all that has ever been. We are aware, we know and think. We remember and without this gift there is merely chaos and we don’t exist. But memory came into being late in the evolution of order from chaos. It was not preordained it has no ancestry it is and always was a part of chaos’s endless formations.

And once memory sat amongst the stars and atoms, learning spewed from Chaos’s infinite grasp.

And life.

And knowledge.

Evolution too.
