classic final verse of 'the incredible shrinking man'**
So close, the infinitesimal and the infinite; but suddenly i knew they were really the two ends of the same concept. The unbelievably small and the unbelievably vast eventually meet like the closing of a gigantic circle. I looked up as if somehow i would grasp the Heavens, the universe, worlds beyond number ~ God's silver tapestry spread across the night! And in that moment i knew the answer to the riddle of the infinite. I had thought in terms of man's own limited dimension, i had presumed upon nature - that existence begins and ends, is man's conception.... not nature's [God's]. And I felt my body dwindling, melting.... becoming .... nothing.... my fears melted away and in their place came - acceptance. All this vast majesty of creation, it HAD to mean something..... and then I meant something too! Yes, smaller than the smallest, I meant something too.
TO GOD, THERE IS NO ZERO..... I STILL EXIST!!!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
**[this gets me every time.... once a bright-eyed boy watching this felt the pull of the eternal, and the Creator Himself used that moment to capture a heart forever in the pursuit of finding and knowing that place where there is no 'dimension'.... only wonder and infinite love..]
