For those of you that have been following me for years; you may have noticed that my blog has been a bit inactive. That’s because I’ve been posting to Instagram with photos of my own, much like the one you see here taken in my new hometown of Flagstaff, AZ.

It would be so awesome if you guys could check out my recent work! You can find me under the username arizona_adventurer.

Cheers everyone!

You could safely say the universe is a "whole lotta nothing." If so much of the universe is made up of emptiness, what does that mean to people like us, living on a tiny speck in the middle of all of it? With so much emptiness, aren't stars, planets, and people just glitches in an otherwise elegant and uniform nothingness? Like pieces of lint on a black sweater. But without the tiny dots for it to stretch between, there would be no emptiness to measure, and for that matter, no one around to measure it. You might say that so much emptiness makes the tiny bits of matter that much more meaningful - simply by the fact that, against all odds, they aren't empty. If you're drowning in the ocean, a floating piece of driftwood is a pretty big deal. What if trillions of planets and stars were crammed next to each other? They wouldn't be special at all. It seems like we are both pathetically insignificant, and miraculously important at the same time. Whether you more strongly feel the monumental significance of tiny things or the massive void between them depends on who you are, and how your brain chemistry is balanced at a particular moment. We walk around with miniature, emotional versions of the universe inside of us. It's reassuring to know that no matter how depressingly bleak or ridiculously momentous we feel, the universe, judging by its current structure, seems well aware of both extremes. The fact that you're here, in the midst of all this nothing, is pretty amazing when you stop and think about it.

We spend hours finding the right tree. Bringing it home to the perfect spot in the house. Covering it with all the lights and tinsel we can, only to find out that the absolute best trees are still in the woods, and nature has done a much better job of decorating than we ever dreamed of doing.
