Your Place In The Milky Way

It is hard to sit near a mountain and worry.  Yesterday we rode through the mountains of East Tennessee and sat beside the Tennessee River.  Everywhere I looked were fallen trees and standing timber, water flowing slowly by, mud and grass and deep fallen leaves and the sun shone above it all.  I sat and wondered at how the earth lives and dies, falls and rises, grows and erodes away without a single conscious moment of effort.  All this powerful might of force and perfection continually happening, being.   And even now it is rocketing through space and time, occupying its place in an arm of the Milky Way Galaxy being earth and never a moment’s worry.  Worry is a curse of the poorer conscious.
