Constant Celestials
Everyone who has ever lived has seen the same sun and moon.
Think about it, the same moon we gaze at in awe today is the same that Shakespeare wrote about in his sonnets. There's something very humbling about this simple truth, that every human and living being who has ever drawn breath has looked upon the same sun and moon. Through all the love stories, wars, dreams, discoveries, losses, successes, and failures. Through every human heart that has wondered life's great questions. For all time.
In a world divided by borders and beliefs, the moon still pulls the tides and the sun rises irrespective of our petty human conflicts and wars. Maybe we should learn to see beyond our manufactured divisions. A common humanity and collective journey on this blue dot we call home.
The next time you look up at the night sky or feel the warmth of sunlight on your face, remember - you're sharing this moment with every human who has ever lived and everyone who will come after. In this cruel world that often feels divided and disconnected, maybe that's something worth contemplating to remind us we're not alone.
