The Human as a Particle of Sand in the Ocean

The next time you find yourself at work, relaxing in the hammock, sitting with friends, walking down the street, or driving in your metal coffin, think and imagine that you are a very small particle of existence floating around a mutli-billion light-year expanse of nothingness, as though we are a small piece of sand floating around the ocean. As I sit here and type this I am aware of how small I am when compared with the immensity of the universe, I can imagine pulling back slowly from my town, state, continent and planet, rising into a grand picture of the universe until all that remains is a small dot among many more trillions of dots.

"Pretty insignificant we humans are, but so important we imagine."
