I love the open skies out here on the prairies/farms.  The clouds literally look like giant cotton balls, the fields seem to stretch on forever.  You truly (and literally) can see the curve of the Earth.  It makes me feel so small and so powerful at the same time.  We are these tiny beings floating on this giant rock in space, and we can literally see that—if you have the chance to feel that kind of humility, find a way to sit in that every day.  This world turns at its own pace and it is in its own time and we are just a blip on the radar.  But even if we are “just a blip” think of the ways we still have an impact.  Being human is a funny thing because for as powerless as we are, we have incredible power in our own lives, in our time.  We are so small but we are able to do so much.  It’s hard to break the habit of what we think we are supposed to do in favor of what we know we are supposed to do.  But when we see the expanse of the Earth and know that we are part of this grand design in some way, that we are part of the eternal energy of the universe, we know that there is no reason to not jump whole-heartedly into what we want to do with our lives.  There is no reason to not take every moment and love it, to fully embrace it, to be everything we want to be and do everything we want to do.  Our place is to love this time, this place, this energy we are in and if we don’t, then we need to find a way to change that.  Know that we have the power to shift our reality, and sometimes that is exactly what we are meant to do.  Remember how small we are, know that we can act with humility while still following our purpose.  And the truth is that is all we need to do—even if we feel out of place or embarrassed or scared.  We are simply meant to do what we are called to do, to fulfill our purpose.  That is our place.
