Overwhelmed By Space
How we can mean almost nothing on the scale of the universe and also almost everything on the scale of who we are to one another. (Which is to say, on the scale of the universe too, because we’re all a part of the cosmos when you get right down to it. Star-stuff in our bones and teeth.)
a paradoxical feeling of being at once unified with and not at home in the world; of feeling both ridiculously small and insignificant in the grand scheme and nonetheless a powerful centre of knowledge, freedom and value in the world.
