How Many Years are in a Light Year? from Gigi at Rethinking Life


https://gigisrantsandraves.wordpress.com/

I watched this YouTube on Gigi’s blog Rethinking Life and thought it so wonderfully clear and so meaningful. This is what I wrote in the comments on her blog…

No one has ever explained it so well. It helps that he makes is visual. It has me awestruck over the hugeness of space. How infinitesimally tiny we are from the smallest life in the depths of the oceans to atoms to the largest on one planet in one solar system in one universe in one multiverse. And yet man found this out. I want to keep this in the back of my mind always when getting upset over something ridiculous or with someone over nothing. To say it really puts things in perspective is to understate the magnificence of it all. Damn, I wish I had the mind to be an astrophysicist. They must be permanently in a state of awe. Again, thank you for posting.

Naked trees reach

upwards toward the sky

in pursuit of our Creator

Trees dressed in flowers

 turn our eyes skyward

to gaze at cottony clouds

Church towers

carry our sight

to the bright blue heavens

as we stand

gazing

in unparalleled awe.
