Week 10: upside down

We're all constantly reminded of how small we are.

In those times, I think of a quote from my favorite author, Lewis Carroll.,

"... Sir, if you wouldn't mind," said Alice: "three inches in such a wretched height to be."

"It is a very good height indeed!" said the Caterpillar angrily, rearing itself upright as it spoke (it was exactly three inches high).

I felt small this week.

Especially when I walked into a bar meeting filled with life-long mixologists from all over the city.

Working for the Swan family in Rochester, is the service industry's version of being born into a trust.

These people are on a different level,

I just have to ask myself whether I care enough to be jealous.

Last February, I went with a friend to the planetarium on mushrooms.

We saw such detailed photos of different galaxies that day.

I remember feeling comforted by the thought of swimming across the universe, weightless,

From galaxy to galaxy.

The sky today reminded me of those same galaxies.

Wispy and crowded into groups, leaving faded, open spaces in between.

Do you ever sit and feel yourself rotating with the earth?

Maybe the reason we sometimes feel bad is because we're upside down in the universe.

Our physical position on the planet is upside down.

"An upside down planet can cause headaches and brain fog, see your general physician before undergoing any form of treatment."

Maybe we're upside down right now.
