Like the mushroom cloud of the atom bomb, or the vastness of space as projected to us by satellite... the greatness of the experience goes beyond your ethical and aesthetic judgment, cutting you free from the binding ego of yourself. With the diminishment of your ego, the less there is of you, the more you see the sublime. ↗

They didn't own doodley-squat, so they couldn't improve their surroundings. so they did their best to make their insides beautiful instead. ↗
