A Speck of Dust?

A fun-knee thing happened today, well actually, that came later. Today at work, my boss and I were talking about just 'how small one feels...' Y'know, the feeling that you get every now and then, not too often, that when you look at the "whole picture", you just feel... well... small. For me, like looking at pictures of different parts of the world, pictures of planets and star clusters [especially pictures like the 'birth' of a star, etc.], the ultimate universe... Well, to sum it up short, I often feel like I'm just a speck of dust in this vast 'place' we live in, and I'm sure that there's something even bigger than our so-called universe itself, no doubt!

So here's the [kinda] fun-knee part! I got home tonight and I was flipping thru magazines, I found this article about an artist in Australia named Stephanie Valentin, simply amazing... and here's a photo to prove it:

So a pollen isn't all THAT small, but compare to us, it's small enough. The point of the story is? Hmm... Buy her prints? Yes and No... I guess it's: No matter how small you feel, there's always something bigger [durr] and smaller than you. I know that even on my skin right this minute, there's a whooole world of living creatures dwelling in it as a habitat... K, this is getting dumb, so just go look at Stephanie's page... At times, even the smallest thing can be made bigger than life itself...
