perspective

Scientist Sal Khan views the place of earth 
within our galaxy, with our cosmos 
and billions of light years beyond HERE

Comedian Tim Minchin views life as meaningless HERE
not the meaninglessness of cynicism
but questions the arrogance of human's seeking meaning
in an ego self-importance

In both I hear the voice of God
one puts my life in cosmic perspective
the other offers me ego perspective

I'm neither as large as the cosmos
or as important as my ego demands

it's enough to simply be
to enjoy the delight of this immediate moment
and this one
and this one . . .

and now my task is to live that
