significance

this is from a journal entry i wrote more than two years ago:

I am always amazed when I think of man against the backdrop of nature in its rawest form – a span of mountains or canyons, the infinite span of galaxies or the life cycle of a redwood sequoia. In that realm of understanding, man seems so insignificant to me, so small. In nature’s territory, we are nothing. Yet man also wields unfathomable amounts of power over his surroundings and the daily choices in his life that ripple out and change outcomes.

what happens when you choose to keep going, keep believing, keep moving?
