Most
of us probably have days when we feel somewhat superfluous, like we’re just an
unnecessary speck in an immeasurable universe, but fortunately for me, I
usually wake up from that misunderstanding fairly fast, and see again, with a
smile, that today needs me. I see
again these simple but striking truths – that the universe is endlessly
harmonious, that I am an essential part of that harmony, and that whatever I do today will be a
soft but continuously influential force. l
am needed today. The oxygen atoms I send out from my lungs will he used
again and again in countless ways by the universe. Every step I take will move limitless
molecules around, and thus move the universe. My smiles might bring blessings
to careworn lives. A word of thanks might throw a streak of light across someone
on this day – a day that’s very special, like all of them, and a day that
definitely needs me.
