Privileged. To have seen it all.

I marvel at the mass of creation. Everything that lies beyond Earth. All of it makes Earth even less than a speck. Now that's vastness. And then imagine a human being fitting into all of this. Something we call Creation. How infinitesimal we are. Yet, the human mind is able to glimpse into all of this with some iota of consciousness. Awareness. Makes me feel overwhelmed. In a pleasant sort of way. I'll never understand it all. Most likely, I will come and go. Here for only an instant. A flash. That's my eternity. Maybe that makes me a part of god's mammoth consciousness. Privileged. To have seen it all. As if through god's eyes. --Jim Broede
