If you could travel at the speed of light you could traverse the equator of the earth over seven and a half times in the course of a single second. If you set out on a voyage from our planet to the farthest known star in the observable universe, however; that trip would take about fifty billion years at the same speed. I try to remind myself of this when I’m either too high or too low. If I’m too full of myself the remedy is to truly appreciate my cosmic insignificance and mortality. If I’m depressed or anxious or self conscious I focus on what a miracle it is that anything exists at all. I try not to squander the brief chance I have to commune with this mystery.

I’ve been saying this in private for years. It warms my heart to finally see someone with the courage to utter this essential truth in a public forum.
