As the moon rushed to plunge into my horizon this evening, I was thinking about how small I am, and how insignificant this little striped body of mine is when compared with the vast universe that continues to breathe quietly out there, chanting its universal “OM.” It is a humbling thought. One that makes you appreciate the microcosm near by with all its imperfections, disappointments, heartbreaks and, yes, bad hair days, too.

Isn’t she beautiful? …like a diamond in the rough.
