We always knew it was there, didn’t we?

We always knew the sun was smiling at us, didn’t we? From our early artwork, the smile was there. Now, NASA has proven it exists.

Humanity is just too significant to not have a reaffirming face in the basic necessity of our existence. Perhaps it was our belief in God, or a higher power, but we knew it was there.

I am awed by this photo. I am in awe of the James Webb Telescope, which has provided this unique vision of the hand of God reaching out for us. It is simply stunning.

For all of us who are anxious or overwhelmed; perhaps feeling low, sad or depressed, I am putting this little reminder right into my profile.

It reminds me we are not alone, there is something bigger than us all. Something permanent. Something eternal, weightier than our little problems on this planet.

Like the Smiley Face of the 1970’s let this be your reminder today to look up, smile, and know we will get through our angst.
