“One moment in one place is a whole universe within itself.”  Tom Pearson - Aug 12, 2004

Horton Hears a Who

Dr. Seuss reminds us how small a world could be in the book “Horton Hears a Who”. Horton the elephant heard a small noise with his big ears.  The sound was coming from a small civilization of people on a very small speck of dust flying across his eyes.  He couldn’t see them, but he could hear them.  To save them he placed the dust speck on a soft clover flower in a large field of clover.

Our world is much like the dust speck floating in the sea of our universe. It means everything to us but is negligible to the rest of the universe.  Our whole life, which is just a moment, is lived on a speck of dust in a universe that is larger than can be imagined and has been in motion for billions of years.  How else can we live except in the moment?
