I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is.

Magnificent creation !! This is too cool, John...even hot! Gives a warm feeling just looking at it :) Curious though, was the little flame added or part of the fractal?
The flame in the middle of the portal is very unique. It's a rich and dark design. Your narrative reminded me of how I used to drive myself nuts when I was a kid, trying to grasp the concept of eternity, of things never ending. Lovely work as always John. :)

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.
