in case you have forgotten
our smallness
remember this scale
if the sun
were as big as a football
the earth would be
a peppercorn
mercury
the head of a pin
& venus
just another peppercorn
with our
turning blue & white
fragment of spice
set about 26 yards
away from that soccer ball
how big
do you feel now?
This is great!
Well you certainly did that!
I very much agree.
Thanks, Trent!
Perspective rules
At times I feel I’m small as the tiniest grain
Of sand
On the beach pounded by relentless surf
Yet to myself
I’m everything
Reducing all
Every other thing
To a diminuition
Of a fully realized
Creation
Then
We work it out
I LOVE THIS!!!!!!! Sometimes, insomnia is not such a bad thing. Thanks for sharing.
… like a mote of dust in a sunbeam …
Yes!
Very clever – and my kids will love this!
Thanks, Anne–think mine will too
Humbled!
like a grain of sand in god’s shoe. not even big enough to know i’m there. hmmm, very humbling to say the least.
Yes–we are tiny, tiny things with a big attitude problem
not that all attitude is bad–sometimes it is refreshing!
I really like how you deliver this with humor, but it still is pointed.
I have been reading Chris Hedges’ War Is A Force That Gives Us Meaning and the scope of human suffering also reminds me of how small I am. I like that there are many ways to be reminded of this and that includes humor.
Thanks, Jeremy–sounds like a great read. Maybe I should have titled this subatomic particles with attitude.
I will settle to be a mustard seed~
Me too!
And there are stars out there that make the soccer ball look like a peppercorn.
Exactly!
Pretty close to nothingness
Yes. Itty bitty specks with attitude
Lil speckaz wid attitude
ROFL!
Well said
Thank you, C.
