"To fully understand a grand and beautiful thought requires, perhaps, as much time as to concieve it."
- Joseph Joubert, essayist (1754-1824)
How long have we looked up and wondered who we are?
The truth, it turns out, is that what we're looking up at isn't separate from us. It’s not "out there" and we're not "in" it. The universe is a single event, a process that began with the big bang, and we are it.
That takes some getting use to.
