A Privilege to be Alive

"That's here. That's home. That's us," Carl Sagan wrote. These words take on new meaning as NASA continues to release images from the James Webb telescope. We can now see 13 billion light-years away to when the Universe was new. What a privilege it is to be alive, to be here right now, together, on this planet. 
“There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human vanity than this distant image of our world. It underscores our responsibility to be more kind with each other and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.” - Carl Sagan, Pale Blue Dot
 Affirmative prayer: Infinite Presence, I give thanks for the gift of Life, and I choose to make this day – this moment – count. I live on purpose in gratitude and generosity. My very presence is a blessing for others, and I am blessed. Thank you, God, forever. Amen.
