Our lives may seem like inconsequential sparks in the great scheme of the universe – until we consider that mayflies live for only five minutes.
ON certain sleepless nights, I’ll lay awake staring at the ceiling as my mind ponders the seeming infiniteness of the universe contrasted with my own mortality. Namely, I stay up thinking about how the universe has been here long, long before me and will be here long, long after me. Thinking about this doesn’t really help me sleep.
