Cosmic Charlie

When stars flare-out at night ..they send invisible waves of energy washing up on the shores of Earth ..unseen but not unnoticed. Cosmic Charlie sees them ..or rather, he feels them ..like ripples of water bathing his skin ..as he sits outside his hut and watches the night sky ..high up in the Himalayas. “Another star bites the dust” he says to himself “Shiva is dancing like a wild woman tonight”. You see, to Charlie ..the night sky in not an empty void ..it’s alive and vibrant ..a colorful dance of cosmic beauty. He lies naked, stretched out on a rock, and lets the celestial rhythm pass through him ..replacing the worn out cells of his body. They can make him large or make him small. However, by daybreak ..he’s usually back to normal shape. Charlie hasn’t eaten in days ..doesn’t need to. He lets this cosmic exchange take place without interference ..replenishing his body ..cleansing his senses ..and refreshing his mind.
