Let's Get Outta Here and Graduate...
Dear Pride Center Friends,
We have been measuring time and space over the last few months and it leads us down the path of endings and new beginnings.
We had an incredibly successful year and it is not yet over - celebrations are underway at the Pride Center.
I learned about sky movements at College of the Desert, a community college in the Coachella Valley, the Astronomy professor guided us through math equations and desert sky meteor showers. Our professor said at the time, that what you see today will not be the same in 20 years and what we are seeing is potentially a glimpse of time that never ends because space is constantly expanding and changing -- when we look up at the night sky, the idea is that if we travel fast enough, we are able to somehow catch up to moments of our past and actually time travel. Our professor also theorized that that eventually space as we know it will begin making its way inward and called it the Big Crunch theory. But theorists also say that after the Big Crunch - we will have a Big Bounce a new expansionary epoch, something to think about in this cyclical universe.
Honestly, we are in a Big Crunch at the end of this semester and onward to the Big Bounce, which inspired this years theme of Lavender Graduation.
anyhow, we have celebrations to tend to, rejoicing to do, dance for joy to do, and keep exploring this ever changing world and we can look up at the skies to be able to go beyond our past and we hope to see the new expansionary epoch for us all.
Be Safe, Have Fun!
Best,
