“You are an aperture through which the universe is looking at and exploring itself.”

My favorite time of day is the 30-60 minutes just before dawn.

With the dark skies on clear mornings just before my daily walk, I often stop in my driveway and gaze into the heavens to see the constellations and the phases of the moon shining down.

At such moments, I contemplate my place in the world and know in my heart and soul that millions of other people are doing the same. To experience my oneness and the oneness of us all is profound.

In what ways do you experience yourself as an aperture through which the universe looks and explores itself?
