Feeling Small & Loving it!

Have you ever sat down and taken a moment to be with what is and realize just how very tiny you are in this big and ancient universe. We throw the term universe around like we have an understanding of what it is but have you ever acknowledged it's infinite wisdom?

The earth is just one planet in our Milky Way Galaxy. Our Galaxy is just one of millions in the universe! There is no end to the universe as it is always expanding. Nothing ever dies. It just turns into something else.

So let's look at this from our tiny perspective. If we are a piece of life inside the universe we too are expanding and infinite. There are worlds upon worlds and we are just one tiny spec in it all. But for human sake lets look at planet Earth and how many galaxies are right here. We can start with our own body. One tiny cell in our body working to keep our body healthy... Would be the Sun and everything else around it would be working together as a Galaxy in one unit (our body, aka the universe). Or what about the Ocean, or the insects in the ground or the micro organisms that make up matter?! Have I lost you yet? These are all worlds of their own in their own Galaxy in this one great big universe! Think about how big we are compared to some of their worlds.

Our brains need structure with beginnings and endings to comprehend things. So, to think about just how gigantic the universe is and just how small we are in it, is mind blowing. I think it's safe to say we are like micro organisms to the universe and I find this very comforting.

If this doesn't comfort you, you may be confused as to why it is to me. Let me tell you...

If I am such a tiny piece in the grand old universe, my problems and fears and anxieties are even tinier!! It brings me to a place of meaninglessness. What?! How is that comforting?!



If life is meaningless, then I get to pick the meaning!!

Are you still with me?

If there is no meaning then I get to choose it. By becoming nothing I can become anything. I am everything nothing and can find gratitude that my life exists. I am alive and so are you! Life is beautiful, abundant and infinite.

Those that believe in God may have trouble with this concept at first but God is infinite wisdom and unexplained, hence the universe. We may try to put God in a boxed structure to understand it but God may never be understood and can not be labeled as hard as we may try. The universe is God and we are humbled life from it's source. Obviously, one must choose what makes them feel best. These statements are not meant to be controversial but to connect us all inside this great big eternal space of love.

From a scientific frame of mind, when we die our energy and matter is recycled into something else but from a more spiritual place what is left is the legacy we leave behind. We are remembered by who we chose to be and how we made others feel. Your acts of kindness and love live on just as all the bad things do. It's up to us how we will impact the people in our lives and in consequence the world.

By choosing one act of kindness and love at a time we make an infinite impact.

Go ahead... Allow yourself to feel small so you can know just how big you really are. Feel humbled and grateful. You are a Star in your own Galaxy.


Namaste - The divine light in me honors the divine light in you.
