Numbers
I saw a trillion stars tonight
Then a trillion grains of sand.
But they were mere handfuls
Compared to the atoms in my pen.
It took billions of years
To appreciate this fact.
These numbers are too large for
My billions of brain cells.
Opher – 24.8.2019
We have a hundred billion brain cells. That is all. It is not enough.
The size of the universe. The distance in miles. The length of time. The number of stars. The number of atoms.
They are all beyond our limited ability to comprehend. We only think we understand. We are fooling ourselves.
Nice!
Cheers!
