The beat

An unseen paintbrush sweeps across the sky, washing it in a series of watercolors. What was once a bright blue, slowly became a mix of pinks and oranges. Then all transitioned red, violet, ultramarine, and finally deep black. The mysterious artist finalized the masterpiece by poking a million holes into the canvas, then lighting and setting a cosmic candle behind it. The night arrives as Luna in the sky temporarily wins her eternal battle with solis. During this time, something magical happens. Three mushrooms come to life and begin to play a song. Music is one of the few things that transcend all barriers. It is something that creatures and beings of very different environments and backgrounds can feel. It is a feeling that holds the universe together. It soars through the air like a bird, and colonizes the earth like the mycelium of the mushrooms. It is love and it is the heartbeat of the universe.

In this moment, the mushrooms play their song and all creatures have an unspoken but somehow universal understanding that we are all one.
