burning man

how comforting it is to know
my place on the cosmic scale,
a minutiae of the world, which
in turn is one of the universe.

no bigger than the spec of
stardust that exploded
and gave life to the stars
and galaxies - and me.

for if i know i am so small,
and so is the earth, sun,
milky way, galaxy cluster,
and possibly universe ...

then i am really no different
at all, just another speck
of stardust, after some fashion,
drifting through existence.
