World (Jun. 3)

The world in which we live is a very interesting place. There are so many different things that make up the world like the vast oceans of water that somehow sit in particular valleys of rocks and yet not others. Mountains rise what seems like incredible distances above the waters and form peaks that seem so perfect that it is a wonder how they got there exactly. We could fly for miles around this world and meet untold amounts of people that are all sustained by the air that encompasses this planet. The world sits at a very particular distance, though not always the same distance, from a sun that provides light and heat that are vital to the survival of every thing that lives. There are literally billions of people that actually live on this planet and one could spend a lifetime trying to meet all those people and still fail miserably. And yet the world is really a small place when you think about it. While there is still much more to be expolred on this planet there are untold reaches of space beyond us that dwarf this planet in comparison. Despite the large number of people you inevitably end up running into someone who knows someone else that you know from a completely different realm of life. This really is a small world after all.
