A few nights ago I couldn't sleep, so I go up and wandered outside. I started watching the meteor shower, saw the short lived streaks of light fading into non existence. Saw the stars behind them continue their glowing presence. It was beautiful.
Sometimes, remembering our insignificance in the grand cosmos can be daunting. When you look up and come to grips with exactly how much is above us and all around us that we cannot see or touch. Sometimes its depressing. That night however, it was comforting. That everything comes and goes just as quickly and just as brightly as those meteors. Just how quickly or brightly depends on the meteor. But the world never stops spinning, continues on anyways. I find that comforting.
