One of my favorite things is experiencing those random moments where you're reminded that you are only this teeny tiny spec on a rock in the universe. You look up to the sky and see the clouds moving across the sky and follow your eyes down to the horizon and see the curvature of the earth. How powerful. You look up to the moon or sun and picture your planet among all the others, just floating in space. It makes all of the daily worries that you have throughout the day, your life, seem small and insignificant. For most this may be depressing, but instead I find it exhilarating. To understand that we are apart of something much much bigger is exciting. When I say "something bigger" I am not referring to some kind of spiritual world, or referencing the existence of a higher power, or a "plan", and that's what makes it all so exciting! The fact that our planet, Saturn's rings, the billion other suns like ours! Black holes, light, galaxies, and the enormous space that we could never understand, is concrete and there. It's provable and physical. It all sounds like the work of an imagination but it's not. It's enough to distract a mind for eternity.
