Statistically, the probability of any one of us being here is so small that the mere fact of our existence should keep us all in a state of contented dazzlement.
~ Lewis Thomas (1913–1993). A physician, poet, etymologist, researcher.

Lovely photo and quote. It’s quite sad really that we live with such little appreciation of the extraordinariness of merely being alive, both our own existence and that others too – let alone the fact that we are conscious of this at all.

Awesome picture and amazing quote! It is so true that we don’t appreciate that just being alive is a miracle. We take little things that are big things for granted each and every day. Thanks for this Dave!
