Tiny
misting raindrops this evening, falling all around us; nurturing our newly
planted seedlings and seeds. A momentary
peace in our happy world: my cat naps, totally relaxed.
Whatever
stress and tension there may have been, during the day, let it go and think of
the wonder that we are but one insignificant planet within a single star’s
orbit, within a giant galaxy containing billions of such stars, in every direction.
As
the supposedly “smart” entity on this planet, we only figured this out a few years
ago, in galactic time.
And
if and when, you can ever get your mind around the immensity and distances within our Milky Way Galaxy,
I
think you may agree that you might need drugs to fully comprehend that our
Milky Way is just one of billions of galaxies, again in every direction –
galaxies are being born, living for billions of years, and dying, in our
universe.
This
picture is so far out, that only a galaxy, and many are revolving spirals like
ours, only the cumulative effect of billions of stars will show up on the
photograph. But as you can imagine, a
telescope can only look at very small
picture of the universe at a time. Multiply
this by millions as you change the focus of the camera all around our globe.
