Yep, and then I realised it really doesn't matter - get me another beer in, would you?

On a couple occasions (nights that were supposed to have a high number of meteors) I've lain on my back on the grass away from any lights or obstructions and just gazed at the vastness of space. Sometimes the scale of it seems so enormous that I want to grip the grass, because I feel like I'll fall into infinity.
I can't say it was the cycle of life that I was thinking about then, but then I don't need the stars to think about that. I just wonder how long us humans will need to continue being a part of that cycle. (See 2nd link below.)
Carl Sagan wrote some very poingnant words relating to our tiny place in the universe. This is one of my favorite quotes of all time. Check out the 1st link below to read it.

I have the same issue...Everything I do brings me back to the question of what are we here for?
There's a space that we're in that's beyond the capacity of our mind. It's all perfect and imperfect at the same time and it's just magnificent. I see a pattern to all of creation. Everything has a purpose inside of something else bigger that also has a purpose. Well, enough blabberring. I hope you like what you see up there when you look. I definitely can't stop looking.

It is a very awe-inspiring to think, we are less insignificant than a drop of water in the oceans of our world. The fact in this great existence we are part of we are alive and are able to comprehend what we are a part of. And the fact that the more you learn the more you realize how little you understand.

All the time. I wonder what my deceased father is doing up in Heaven, whether he is talking to the Three Stooges or The Marx Brothers, or even Laurel and Hardy!

Life continues on by eating other life, basically, with a recycling of its basic nutrients assisting the process at the cellular level, and with dead matter contributing to that recycling.

more times that I can remember. Its amazing to think about the awesomeness of the whole realm of life and so calming to know you are a tiny part of that.
