On Being Small

Did you know there are people who have never seen a tree?

No, I mean it. There are people who have never really seen a tree.

There are people who have never sat beneath a tree, looked up at the sky, and wondered. About anything.

There are people who have never marvelled at the stars above. At the sheer immensity of it all.

There are people who have never sat in their smallness amidst the infinite…

…and felt grateful to be a part of something so grand.

How awful to live one’s whole life and never ponder miracles!

How truly, truly awful!
