It’s all in our minds, you know.
This world, this existence, this life, is all so breathtakingly beautiful that we are overcome.
And so, we find ways to reduce the enormity.
We glaze our eyes over.
We divert our attention.
We fuss among ourselves.
We deliberately seek ugliness, and darkness, and what hurts.
And so, we miss the obvious.
This is obviously a huge, beautiful world in a universe of infinite and unspeakable grandeur.
Our minds can scarcely drink it all in, so we try to make the universe smaller.
We try to make it less grand.
We focus on the imperfections.
We focus on the petty differences.
When we lift our eyes, however, we know the meaning of awe.
It is too much, until it is just enough.
Then, and only then, do we see.
Life is not a small, churlish thing.
Life is a big, wide adventure full of wonder, that is to say, wonderful.
The more we wonder, the more we live.
The more we live, the more we chase the dark away.
Light bright lights along the path, the better to heal the darkness.
