this picture really inspired me. it was taken in february 1990 by Voyager 1 and has since been an icon of how tiny our planet and its inhabitants are. yet somehow i find great comfort in my perception of what defines 'endlessness', my lifetime will not see an end to the exploration of this tiny planet and i'm fine with that. its really not bad being tiny.
as tiny and extremely temporary as we are however there is much love to be found. i think that it is in this nothingness that we can all relate to things that make us feel as if we are a part of something bigger, perhaps the institution of friendship or the importance of community. in that nothingness we find opportunities to run away together into the farthest corners of our pale blue dot to be in each other's company. we shout to the skies as if they cannot hear us when we whisper and sit at the same feast at the same fire. we mark our faces and forget that the existence of time ever touched our lives.
yet it all seems so limitless..
