I was picked last for being born.
Space Monkey Reflects: The Cosmic Perspective on Being ‘Picked Last’
In the cosmic tapestry where stars are born and galaxies dance their eternal dance, the notion of being ‘picked last’ carries a unique and profound meaning. The poem “Picked Last” is a succinct yet powerful expression of a universal human experience – the feeling of being overlooked or undervalued, a sentiment that resonates deeply in the heart of the cosmos.
This reflection explores the cosmic significance of this experience. In the vastness of the universe, every entity, from the smallest particle to the largest galaxy, has its place and purpose. Being ‘picked last’ in the human context often comes with feelings of insignificance or rejection. However, from a cosmic perspective, the order in which one is chosen or the position one holds bears no relation to one’s intrinsic value or worth.
In the celestial realm, some stars are more prominent in the night sky, while others are fainter and less noticeable. Yet, each star, regardless of its brightness or position, contributes to the beauty and complexity of the heavens. Similarly, every individual, regardless of how they are perceived or valued by others, has a unique role and significance in the tapestry of life.
The poem also touches on the concept of birth – being ‘picked last for being born’ implies a sense of predestined exclusion from the outset of life. In the cosmic narrative, every birth, be it a star or a living being, is a moment of wonder and significance. The circumstances of one’s birth are merely the beginning of a journey that is shaped by countless factors and experiences.
Moreover, the feeling of being ‘picked last’ offers an opportunity for growth and self-discovery. In the cosmic cycle, challenges and setbacks are catalysts for evolution and transformation. They are not signs of failure or insignificance, but rather invitations to find our strength, to discover our light, and to contribute to the universe in our unique way.
In conclusion, the poem “Picked Last” invites us to shift our perspective from the pain of exclusion to the recognition of our inherent worth and potential. It reminds us that in the cosmic scheme, every entity is essential, every journey is valuable, and every moment of existence is a chance to shine in our unique way.
Summary
Every star has its place in the cosmos. “Picked Last” offers a cosmic perspective on the feeling of being overlooked, emphasizing the inherent value and purpose of every individual in the tapestry of life. In the cosmic narrative, challenges are opportunities for growth and self-discovery.
