As above, so below.

As within, so without.

As the universe, so the soul.

Do you recall the gigantic photo of our galaxy that NASA released last year?  Watch this wonderful video for a guided tour, and be sure to stay through to the finish. This is the best 3-minute meditation I know.

I had the same feeling when viewing the new Tree of Life that was published this week. This New York Times article has a reader-friendly summary of the Tree of Life, along with a detailed image. Where are we? See the little green branch at the bottom right, Eukaryotes?  That is us, along with all other animals, plants, fungi, and protozoans.

With a little perspective, everything looks different.
