the search for the infinite. 
inspired by a conversation i had with a friend

it's incredibly humbling to know that we are nothing but a tiny speck in the endless infinite of the world around us. only for 0.0044% of earth's age, have we been on this piece of rock. at the same time it's incredible to think and know that we are not just people on this planet, but we are as much a part of the world as much as the stars and moon we see in the sky. we have bits of all of it within us if we keep tracing back. 

i'm certain that all of us have always found some semblance of peace or calm in the skies or the oceans, some of us love watching the sun rise, some of us stargaze, others love watching the ocean sweep over the shore over and over, appearing as if its taking a bit of it every with every sweep. the oceans and the skies are unending, they go on and on, and it soothes our soul, it feels like you're home somehow and you certainly didn't live in the beach or on the moon. but it still feels like moon. 

while all throughout our lives we pursue achievements, objects and happiness in some form or the other. deep inside, our soul craves peace. it craves to go back into that meditative state you were in when you were gazing at the stars but somehow at the same time not staring specifically at something. we feed it the peace it craves through maybe a few meditating sessions a couple times a week or five minutes a day or a therapeutic session of good music and the sunset. we keep going back. if you don't really feed the soul with experiences like this, you really are depriving yourself. find the appreciation, that is for sure within you, for the moments in life such as this. the tiny bits make you a happier whole. 

when the soul leaves our bodies eventually, it's nice to think that it returns home, into some form of unfathomable infinity. till then, feed it with the tiny moments of the wonders around us. 

hello,
hope you're doing good mentally and physically. take care.
