I wonder who made this world this ground this sky?
who in all his wonder can make even a crane fly.
What a master mind who can make an eye,
or gravity which keeps the seas from going bone dry.
I sat in my chair trying to figure out why, tongue, tied.
Waiting for a revelation I stood by for a reply,
many years gone by all I know is I am just a small fry.

Ah, these thoughts are thought the world over, Mike. I'm old enough to die and I haven't quite got a handle on it yet either.

I do not know the answers to the questions that you have raised. Whether or not we are insignificant I also do not know. I would like to believe that we have some purpose in the cosmos and that there is a God that cares about us. But I do not know. Everything comes down to faith in the end.

Hi Mike

Many people ponder the meaning of the complex world around us.
We are indeed human small frys.
Our sun is just one of an awesome number of stars in a spiral arm of the Milky Way galaxy, which itself is just a tiny part of the universe. With the naked eye, it is possible to see a few smudges of light that actually are other galaxies, such as the beautiful and larger Andromeda. The Milky Way, Andromeda, and some 20 other galaxies are bound gravitationally into a cluster, all of these being only a small neighborhood in a vast supercluster. The universe contains countless superclusters, and the picture does not end there.
The clusters are not evenly distributed in space. On a grand scale, they look like thin sheets and filaments around vast bubblelike voids. Some features are so long and wide that they resemble great walls.

This may surprise many who think that our universe created itself in a chance cosmic explosion. “The more clearly we can see the universe in all its glorious detail,” concludes a senior writer for Scientific American, “the more difficult it will be for us to explain with a simple theory how it came to be that way.”

Yep, indeed we are small frys.

Good stuff Mike!!

you expressed your thoughts nicely... i think that way also sometimes...

Heaven is not that place where you go when you die... it's that time in your life when you actually feel ALIVE!!!
