Pluto

It's almost mystical, the way that human understanding/belief can shift so suddenly. I still recall being ten years old, learning a mnemonic that ended in Pluto. I wonder what it's like to learn about the eight planets and numerous Trans-Neptunian objects. It's so sudden, and at the end of the day, so utterly pointless. One could even still teach and include Pluto as an archetype. Although, I suppose, one could do a lot of things, perhaps even revise history - rub out that poor frozen Pluto.

I  wonder how I'll be remembered, when there's no longer breath in my chest. I feel like Pluto more often each day, forlorn and forgotten; only spoken of in jest.

we have a saying in Arabic
Far away from sight
Far away from the heart

We say it to make fun of people that forget you the minute you are away
the heart is meant to hold everyone within
all emotions and thoughts

Pluto is my favorite of all
and i think there is so much truth in our skies
we know nothing of
Maybe because we can't buy and sell
why bother learn it ..... right

I like that saying, I'm guessing you're familiar with the idiom: "out of sight out of mind". It just reminded me of it, thanks for sharing.

There's a so much going on in the skies and beyond that will never be told to the people. Knowledge is power, after all.
