“Planets and galaxies.”

H,

We must never forget that there are other planets and other galaxies. This is not a push about extraterrestrial life or space travel. This is about the vast Universe we live in and how that should remind us that the thing in front of us is not the biggest thing there is. There is always more going on.

The things we are facing now may be difficult and they might take from us the beauty and power and depth of the whole story, but they are not the whole story. We are only a small part of an unfolding history. This does mean insignificant or inconsequential. People matter and always will. You matter and you always will.

The thing to remember, what this analogy is useful for, is the thing in front of you. There is a resolution coming. Pain and suffering will not last for all ages. It is a passing phase in the eternal nature of time. There is a story that ends with everything being alright. This is the story we believe. This is the tale we follow. This is the reality we live in.
