If you were to cite an experience that truly makes you feel insignificant in the larger sense of the universe, what would you say it is?
Excerpt from If--- Questions for the Soul by Evelyn McFarlane
One experience was watching the events unfold on September 11th. I recall watching people jumping from the towers, watching the carnage on the streets & feeling useless! It was VERY uncomfortable to watch (and you never really got away from it, as it encompassed all media). I felt naive in my understanding of world politics and religion, not being able to comprehend how a country could concoct such an act upon others.
I cannot say that I am much wiser. I do make attempts to "go beyond the headlines" with current events to understand more of the world that I reside.
I am still naive in many ways, maybe too trustworthy of people. I wish I had the ability to judge a person's true character so I don't invest time & energy on them if they become inconsequential.

That sounds like a cool book. I like the new look of your blog.
I hope I haven't become inconsequential.
