The omnīzon is the great bloom of events,
rather like an explosion of wildflowers
in the springtime of the year.
The trajectory of each subject coincides
with the trajectory of every object
arising from evolving space-time.
All that is real and true is here,
including all the secrets of nature
into which God has retreated, not withdrawn.
The intention of each wave and particle
is equally met by energy
from this sacred well of infinity.
Thoughts blossom, nestled within other thoughts,
billowing in all directions like bubbles and balloons,
some of which pop, while the others float onward.
Superseded thoughts remain threads of the fabric,
for nothing is gained, neither is it lost,
but that it might be found useful, sometime.
Words emerge along the fabric of thought;
shall they be seamed into action,
or shall they be knit as speculative plan?
What shall signify as intent is linear,
but the word as she is spoken and sung
is the event that makes worlds and music.
Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?
the query rings from the corporate stages
of the multidimensional concert hall.
This interruption, in future interrogatory mode,
signals present pressing need of other,
a cry from the unincorporated that cannot be ignored.
On the answer to this question
all future laws, prophets, devices and worlds depend;
the omnīzon and infinite space between await your reply.
For example, when I said, Here I am; send me,
the universe shifted, and when I ventured to ask, For how long?
came the reply: Until each now passes into each next, forever.

Note: I created the term omnīzon about 30 years ago, when I was toying with writing a science fiction journey novel loosely modeled on Teresa of Avila's Interior Castle and the chakra system. My manuscript is incomplete and unpublished, but the term I created lives on with me. What does it mean? The event of the cosmos happens in all directions simultaneously, and there are systems within systems within systems, as well as systems that impinge on other systems to draw or create energy. Every moment, however that is measured, is a new creation, the shifted/altered/re-formed universe. In science fiction, there is the important notion of responsibility for changes made to the space time continuum. If only every sentient being would live up to this responsibility!
