There are times when I feel so big and it's like nothing can ever shake me. But all I have to do is look up and imagine how small we must look like from above. What a humbling epiphany, Rick!
Nyl, every time I fly somewhere I love watching the landscape pass by....that's when I know we're but specks of dust in the grand scheme. It is humbling!
