The Never-Ending Journey
The never-ending journey.
This universe is wide and deep. It expands almost forever and all directions.
Our part in it is small. Things that seem big to us are small in comparison to the entire universe and things that seem small to us are large compared to single-celled organisms and even smaller particles we know as atoms.
To us, the world is just out there. We perceive it from our own point of view.
I like to think of my place in this universe as just a starting point. I’ve spent time finding what there is to know about what I’m interested in. There are other points of view and other interests that others have.
Think of this as a path to learning what is. The joy is in the journey. Finding the road that leads to knowledge and practicing the truths we find on the way is where I find happiness.
It could be in simple things like the smell of an ocean breeze. It could be in the complexities of how gravity works. The science of nature and the natural order of the universe can be a wonderful place to exist.
