All my worldly concerns dissolve in the wake of the vast scale of the universe and its stars and galaxies.
“The cosmos will grind on for eternity long after we’re gone, cold and unobserved. But for these few powers of ten, we have been, we have seen, we have felt, we have lived!!” Alan Lightman
That is WONDER.
It has two meanings – to be awestruck and to be curious.
To share WONDER with children is something special.
it’s above and beyond you
it’s inside you and between you
it’s all around you and beside you
and it’s nowhere to be seen
and yet somewhere, somehow,
sometime now or then
we must find the missing piece
we must
SEVENWELL FACT!!!!! Believe it or not, scientists say that statistically, every person has roughly SIX doppelgangers out there in the world. That means there are SEVEN PEOPLE with your face, including you, out there.
