My younger brother, 4 years younger than I (he was probably 12 or 13 at the time) came home from school one day and asked me , "You know how nuetrons and photons revolving around a nucleus kind of look like our solar system? What if there are planets inside us?”

I never knew until then that my brother had such deep metaphysical thoughts like that.

That's the kind of question you'd find in a Rumi poem. My absolute favoritte poet of all time!!! Thanks for your story.
