Our lives (atleast mine) is in fast forward mode!

I therefore rarely stop and admire the creation of Allah (SWT).

Imam Ali (AS) had adviced ( i remember reading it a long time ago), and i paraphrase, that 1/4 of the day should be used in contemplation (i.e observation and deep thought).

In compliance with Imam's advice, I start this thread and invite you all to post wonders and mysteries of nature that demonstrate the wonders of creation

How small man is!

When I stand in the middle of the immense alpine desert of Mt. Kilimanjaro, surrounded by a harsh desert and barren hills as far as the eye can see, I start comprehending the following fact:

That I am one man in the middle of an amazingly large desert,
Which is a small part of a huge lone-standing mountain
Which is a small part of a large country,
Which is one of the many countries in Africa
Which is one of the six continents on Earth
Which is one of the planets in the Solar system
Which is one of the billions of systems in our Milky way galaxy
Which is one of the zillions of galaxies in our universe
Which is still expanding!

From here if i zoom into the small man standing in the desert, i realize how small I am
