Walking the dog tonight in a warmish late winter night, the two of us, Ralph and I, stopped and looked at a big creamy moon coming over the houses around the park.
A moments’ pause to enjoy the hugeness of our little blue planet and its nearest neighbour, the Moon. We both stopped at the same moment, Ralph looking at and possibly understanding on a level that I cannot appreciate, that despite everything that goes on, there are still stars, the Moon and the beauty of Nature that cause us to stop and stare in the sheer wonder of it all. Did God create all this just for us?
If so, He does great work. If its just a freak of nature and quantum mechanics, then it was a gorgeous freak of nature and high-level physics is uncommonly pretty when it wants to be.
Look outside tonight and enjoy our smallness in the grand scheme of things before it all goes to hell. Enjoy a moments’ wonder.
