Perspective

I went to the beach today. Thought it would be good to sit in front of the ocean and collect my thoughts. I often say it's so hard to 'get out of your head' in New York. Maybe it's the case for anywhere a person lives. I think it was good. I was hoping to have some revelations or insights as to what I want to do with myself and my life, but no such luck.
I do always have a moment though. Where I'm staring off into the horizon and I realise just how small I am. Like zooming out of Google Earth I see myself (with my gargantuan problems and struggles and stories) and then it keeps zooming out, frame by frame. First to the limits of my vision, then to the city, then the country, then the world, and beyond that we have our solar system, many more, the universe and on to infinity. We really are tiny, huh? So how big can our problems really be?
