It’s easy to lose perspective during these chaotic times. Watching the moon last night, I realized how little I knew about some of the most important things about the earth, moon and sun. I wasn’t able to see their interrelationship in my mind, so I went searching and decided to share some of the things I discovered.

Sometimes it’s humbling to realize that although it may seem like we’re standing still, we’re actually standing on a spinning globe with little between us and a vast and wondrous universe…

Looking up offers realization of the vast unknown. There is so much to know and human life is merely a blip on the cosmic timescale.

Amazing to peek out upon the vastness of the universe see our own little spaceship making its rounds.

Thank you, Bette. It is so humbling to see how small and insignificant we are when we forget our connection to the larger wonders and mysteries of life.
