The Face Of Heaven

 “suspended in a sunbeam”

When Juliet thought of her lover Romeo she saw him as brighter than the sun.

Juliet

	And when he shall die Take him and cut him out in little stars,
	And he will make the face of heaven so fine
	That all the world will be in love with night
	And pay no worship to the garish sun.    From Romeo  & Juliet

In the universe, all of us are mere specks and even smaller than a star. For this reason, should we not take care of each other a little more?  Should we not try to protect this planet and each other a little more?
Drive more consciously,  love more consciously?
      The words of the astronomer Carl Sagan remind us:

“We succeeded in taking that picture from deep space, and, if you look at it, you see a dot. That’s here. That’s home. That’s us. On it, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever lived, lived out their lives. The aggregate of all our joys and sufferings, thousands of confident religions, ideologies and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilizations, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every hopeful child, every mother and father, every inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every superstar, every supreme leader, every saint and sinner in the history of our species, lived there on a mote of dust, suspended in a sunbeam.”

-Carl Sagan
