POEM

In the garden of heart, open and bare,
with humility, let us seek wisdom to share.
Embracing guidance, from young and old,
in humble grace, a story of courage unfolds.
Through ebbs and flows, we sing and sway,
receptive to guidance, finding our way.
In the dance of life, let us gracefully turn,
through humility's fire, as our hearts discern.

QUOTE

“We should be inspired by people… who show that human beings can be kind, brave, generous, beautiful, strong-even in the most difficult circumstances.”

SCIENCE SHOWS

Although not a traditional scientific study, the “Pale Blue Dot” photograph taken by the Voyager 1 spacecraft in 1990 had a profound impact on our understanding of our place in the universe.

The Voyager 1 spacecraft, which was about 3.7 billion miles (6 billion kilometers) away from Earth at the time, turned its camera back toward our planet and captured an image in which Earth appeared as a tiny, pale blue dot.

🥁 drumroll, please …

🎉 ta-da! 📸

This “Pale Blue Dot” photograph emphasizes the sheer vastness of the cosmos and the relative insignificance of our planet in the grand scheme of things. This perspective can inspire humility by making us realize that we are just a small part of a much larger universe. In the words of Carl Sagan, “Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light.“

Let's take a moment to reflect on this image and its implications to inspire a more humble attitude, appreciating the interconnectedness of all life on Earth and the importance of protecting our fragile planet for future generations.
