A philosophy of a life
Your moments
are your universe.
Somewhere in all this darkness, a life is happening.
01 / 06
This is Earth.
12,742 kilometers wide.
One blue dot among many.
“That's here. That's home. That's us.”— Carl Sagan, Pale Blue Dot
02 / 06
This is our solar system.
Eight planets around one ordinary star.
The Oort Cloud begins far beyond the frame.
03 / 06
This is the Milky Way.
More than 100,000 light-years across.
One galaxy among billions.
04 / 06
This is the Virgo Supercluster.
Roughly 110 million light-years across.
Galaxies gathering into filaments and voids.
05 / 06
This is Laniakea.
About 500 million light-years wide.
A river of some 100,000 galaxies.
06 / 06
And this is all we can see.
About 92 billion light-years across.
Vast. Expanding. Still incomplete.
After all that distance
But life is not measured
in light-years.
It is measured in moments.
The moments that make a life
A thoughtA thought you nearly let disappear.
A songA song you listened to on a Tuesday night.
A bookA book you finished on a Sunday.
A filmA film that stayed with you long after it ended.
A placeA place worth returning to with someone.
A conversationA conversation you never wanted to forget.
A life, in dots
Each one is just a dot.
Small on its own.
But together, they become your life.
They become a universe
that only you have ever lived.
