Perspective

It's all about perspective, isn't it? This evening I was walking with the dogs. It had rained all day and we were all glad to take advantage of a break in the clouds. I looked at our trees and thought about how unimportant I am to them. I looked at the huge gray masses slowing drifting across the sky and realized that they didn't care I was there. I gazed around the world and knew that I didn't matter at all. Little, insignificant me. I am nothing but a microbe in this gigantic universe.

Then Mia and Trooper ran up to me. As they sat in front of me, waiting for a kind word, a pat on the head, (who am I kidding) a cookie, they gazed at me adoringly. And I realized that I am their whole universe.

It's all about perspective.
