A speck of dust in the sands of time

That's me.

At least in the grand scheme of things, that is.

The other day I was outside, looking up at the expansive sky, and it occurred to me how small I truly am.

I'm standing here on my tiny spot on planet earth, spinning wildly in the midst of an endless universe. Countless generations of people have walked this earth before me, and countless more will come after me - my little life is just a breath in the story of the world.

Kinda puts things into perspective, doesn't it?

This is my moment. This is my time. 

And the clock is ticking (quickly).
