When I go out to meet the light, the shadow of my body follows me, but the shadow of my spirit precedes me and leads the way to an unknown place

Putting things in perspective

Today I read that a leading scientist said that there could be about 100bn earthlike planets in our galaxy alone.  That number of life supporting planets is more than 10 times the number of people on our one planet.  News like this really puts things in perspective.  That is like a cell in our body discovering that there are probably billions of other humans out there besides this one.
