Small World
March 6, 2024
I remember playing with neighborhood friends many years ago during summer break, and our mothers would take turns making lunch for us. One of the mothers would always watch a soap opera called “As the World Turns.” It began with a picture of the world spinning against a dark background. That image stuck with me as I entered 3rd grade and noticed a rather large globe sitting on a table at the front of the classroom. I remember being fascinated with the visual of seeing the various continents and vast bodies of water. The realization set in that I was but one tiny speck on this massive planet Earth.
