It was just one of those moments in the universe that was mine.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think we all have those moments at one point or other in our lives... when we see someone and immediately imagine a whole universe around them. A relationship, a future, and all based on just a second which might not even have been in their company. It's amazing how quickly the human mind can come up with this stuff.
I think my greatest moments in life are family moments, births and marriages.
We don't really have a place in the universe, as far as on a timeline. But nothing else does, either. Therefore every moment really is the most important moment that's ever happened, including this moment right now.
I cannot help but think a curious event is this life of mine.
There are few moments in my life where I really remember what I was doing.
When my father died, those years when he was working on the Hubble came back to me, and it seemed fitting to imagine him as having somehow merged with the large mystery that the universe represents.
People think of these eureka moments and my feeling is that they tend to be little things, a little realisation and then a little realisation built on that.
And when you really think about the 9-11 event, the horrific attack on our land here in America and the death of three thousand of out loved ones, it was a defining moment.
Some of the greatest moments in life come from moments that are incomplete.
Every single moment is a coincidence.
