When we contemplate the whole globe as one great dewdrop,
striped and dotted with continents and islands,
flying through space with other stars
all singing and shining together as one,
the whole universe appears as an infinite storm of beauty.
- John Muir
The massive bulk of the earth does indeed shrink
to insignificance in comparison with the size of the heavens.
- Nicolaus Copernicus
For small creatures such as we
the vastness is bearable only through love.
- Carl Sagan
Take time today to appreciate beauty -
natural beauty, art, people.
Slow down, breathe deeply, smile.
It's a beautiful world.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
