This video has been around for a couple of years, and yet fewer than a million people have seen it. I wish everyone in the world would watch it. We all need to be reminded how small our planet is in the universe, how precious it is, and not that we are insignificant, but that we need to keep ourselves and our self-importance in perspective, and that's what this video is about, perspective.

Hi, Judy,
ReplyDeleteI saw this once when it first came out, but had kind of forgotten it; thanks for bringing it back to my attention! What a contrast! From years of having been called, ”The Big Blue Marble”, we are now relegated to being nothing but a ...pale blue dot. How insignificant, unless you project us to our ultimate collapse into a “point of singularity” in a black hole. Is that the ultimate of Alpha & Omega? Of “ashes to ashes, dust to dust”? Is that where we will meet our Maker?
