318

When I want to make myself feel dizzy, I picture myself, feet not just on earth, but on the Earth.  I imagine myself being held to the Earth as it spins.  Then, like one of those videos from Cosmos, I pan out and up from me.  I am tiny on the Earth.  The Earth is tiny.  The solar system is tiny.  The Milky Way is tiny.  I am here, yet I am nothing.

That's when I start to feel dizzy and the pile of dishes and messages to answer seem... tiny.
