Fill Up Your Cup

Sometimes when I feel overwhelmed I do something that might seem counterintuitive: I remind myself how big the world is and how in the timeline of the Earth and humanity my existence is … a blip.

Do not mishear me: I matter and what I do matters and being engaged in this world matters.

But also, this world is full of creatures and phenomena that continue to plod their way toward whatever what might be in store for us, and in that abundance I find a kind of unexplainable comfort.
