Imagining a Universe

A thousand tiny creatures scurrying across a wide universe…

Like trying to swim across the ocean, the endless waves as far as you can see. Like flying straight up into the sky until you’re surrounded by clouds.

Each of these slight aspects of the world make up the character of our planet, like the tiny little quirks that make you who you are.

The delicate drops of rain that cling to each twig, the twigs that connect to each branch, the branches that sprout from each tree…We’re all connected in a thousand minuscule ways.

So is nature. Flower seeds can be blow for miles by the wind and end up in a new corner of the world. Their everlasting charm and beauty, a pop of color in a grim world, greet us daily.

Think of these things…think of Mother Nature’s beautiful quirks and blessings…and you’ll know that you’re imagining a universe.
