This photograph came across my desk twice this week. Once in a magazine and then again sent in a completely unrelated email. It is a view of a TINY black bit of the night sky taken by the Hubble space telescope. It is titled "the Hubble Ultra Deep Field." Each blob of light is a galaxy, some whose interesting shapes and orientations can be easily distinguished. OUR GALAXY, the Milky Way, is home to more than 100 billion stars. And the sky is just filled with millions MORE galaxies stretching beyond our ability to see or count them. Looking away from our claybound shoes is definitely a humbling experience!
