Portuguese fisherman’s prayer: “Oh Lord, your sea is so vast, and my boat is so small.”
Spectacular.
What a privilege.
It’s been a privilege to live on that beautiful planet
Looking at the moon just feels different these days 😀
Pictures like this and The Pale Blue Dot always make me feel at ease. My problems appear insignificant.
How did you find this? That same website doesn’t show that image anywhere outside the direct link.
It feels so unreal
That’s us. That’s all we are :3 (-4 people)

We’re fighting over nothing.
That’s an insane shot. So easy to think that’s the moon. Must be epic to see this in person.
That’s the ball game.
