Infinity Times Two
A Two-Minute conversation...
Excuse me ... but are you okay?
Yep.
I mean, I was just wondering if you needed some help.
No, I’m good. Thanks.
Are you sure you don’t want me to call somebody?
No, I just want to lie here on the pavement for a while. It’s better from this angle.
Better?
You know… life and stuff. Come lie down next to me. You’ll see how it is.

Oh, yeah… there’s definitely a different perspective from down here, looking up at that huge gray sky.
Do you know how big the Universe is?
Um. Really big.
Yes... and sometimes the trouble in this world just seems smaller when I spend time looking up into infinity. Do you know what I mean?
Yes. I do.
You think the Universe cares about the drama on this tiny planet — the petty politics, the needless suffering, humanity’s great capacity for indifference?
Oh, and don’t forget the immeasurable stupidity.
Yes, especially that. Is the Universe keeping an eye on us?
No, I don’t think so.
Well, me neither.

WOW! That was perfect space-out music. thank you. That and Utopia both allowed me to just relax and tame the monkey brain for a few minutes.
Perhaps we could all use some pavement time to put things in perspective.
