Epiphany Time

I was walking back to my dorm from work, it was cold, I saw people (I hate interacting with people, it is just like 'oh let me say hello to you even though neither of us knows the others name and we shall never again acknowledge the other existence' all because we have no clue what else we should be doing) I passed the last nearby person just before the long straight stretch that lead to my building,
I paused.
I didn't stop, I slowed down.
Every day I just run from one place to the next, because it is cold, because I want to be inside, because I feel awkward. Hurry. Hurry.
Run now so we can slow down later.
But today I paused. I began thinking as I took my few lazy steps about how miraculous this all is.
I looked out across the campus and it was just color, emerald and robins egg, scarlet and the deep grey that trees perfect over winter.
It then occurred to me that I wasn't cold. I had slowed and stopped shivering and POOF realized that my coat kept me plenty warm.
It hit me that I was on a planet. Right now we are ON A PLANET! And this is amazing, think about it! Really think! We are essentially on a giant spinning piece of rock. A giant spinning piece of rock that has all these things growing out of it and living on it. Little things that can grasp, even if just for a moment, the miracle of there own existence and infinity of it.
I looked up at the sky, the bright lovely sky whose color artists can only dream of replicating, and you know what? Looking at sky is looking at infinity. Looking at every exist-able thing, because there is forever hidden there in he sky, a vast expanse of everything. The infinity of existence.
I remembered that I love it here, even though sometimes I question the worth of this struggle, but out there is beauty. In here is beauty too, you just have to pause.
