Things I Saw Today

I spent the day walking in the woods with an old friend. At the risk of sounding too philosophical, I like the metaphor displayed in the first picture (of me).

Confronted with the vastness of the universe, we are truly small (and possibly insignificant) yet our individual struggle to be ourselves (depicted by my choice of a bright red sweater) stands out in the dark wilderness as a beacon of our uniqueness.

    I find it strange how we feel the need to apologise for being deep. Not saying this as a critism, just an observation. I love your philosophising!
    Great observation about your photo. And gorgeous tree sillhouette.

    This so much reminds me of Carl Sagan's Pale Blue Dot. You are the Bright Red Dot on the Pale Blue Dot suspended in a sunbeam. It is good to remember our smallness while holding onto our unique significance to those who love us. Thank you for this reminder. I get so caught up in the forest of "stuff" happening around that I forget this sometimes. It's a wise way to approach the world.

    Hugs,
    Sherry

    Love this metaphor <3 Spending time in nature always makes me very philosophical about life and what it all means, too.

    So many hugs and hope you enjoyed the weather this weekend!

    It is crazy to think how small we are compared to everything else in the universe!

    Love the photos. I agree, it is a good tonic to be out in the woods or near a vast ocean, everything is put into perspective!
