“
If you’re ever lying on a beach with
80 billion grains of sand beneath you,
700 thousand ocean waves before you,
60 million stars stretched out above you,
and you’re still not at all impressed,
I want you to think about this:
The light you see reflecting from the stars is over one million years old.
But then, just before you start to feel like a mere blip
in the gigantic scheme of things, please remember this:
Yes, you are small, but you’re also irreplaceable
and invaluable and miraculous.
Those stars don’t have anything on you.
