Viewing Earth from the perspective of a tiny fragile globe hurling through space humbles and inspires all at once - but makes flag waving and joining in difficult. And so from age 10 on things got difficult. I mean if you're paying attention, even just a little, how can you not be angry? But how also can you not be inspired and awed. And so I write.

Look Up
This photograph shows a collection of 200 billion suns - a galaxy. It would take hundreds of years using our most advanced propulsion systems just to travel between any two of its suns. Millions of years to travel across its diameter. There are1.2 trillion galaxies in the observable universe. Maybe we can gain perspective as humans on earth from this, realize the immensity of what we are up against, learn to respect our fragile planet, and just get along.
