I’ve always loved visualizations of deep time — those huge timelines that remind us that all of human existence on this planet is contained in a tiny speck at the end of time as we can imagine it. Reminders our smallness in the scope of time offer a kind of nourishing humility; it doesn’t mean that what I do during my own time here doesn’t matter, but it helps to counteract the toxic human-centrism of our culture. This world isn’t and has never been primarily about us, and carrying the humility of that can offer us so much wisdom, grace, and relief. -Rose Gallogly (CLF)
