As we explore and wander, a common theme is occurring: we are not alone. Both near and far there are things that we as a human race do not understand and can’t even begin to know.

In Washington, DC we marveled at the exhibits of the National Air and Space Museum. Most notably, the images from the Hubble Telescope absolutely make one question their existence in time and place of such a vast universe. We are but a speck. The next day we were in Baltimore at the National Aquarium and witnessed close up otherworldly creatures that existed before us and will continue on after us. The awesome exhibits of Dinosaurs that roamed the earth millions of years ago at the American Museum of Natural History in New York left us speechless.

The amount of things we don’t know and won’t know and can’t experience and can’t comprehend... is a bit overwhelming. Yet a sense of happiness sweeps over us as we accept our role. How fantastic that we are able to exist in this reality, together.
