Pause For Thought
The Blue Marble is one of the most famous photos ever taken.听听It鈥檚 an image of the earth from 18000 miles away.听听And it makes our huge, diverse earth, look, well like, a blue marble covered in white swirls, the cloud formations over the continents. The picture was taken by the crew of Apollo 17 on 7th听December, 49 years ago today, on what turned out to be the final manned mission to the moon. I believe that the lasting appeal of the Blue Marble lies in a natural tension.听听We all like to feel that our lives are purposeful and that we can make a meaningful contribution to the world that people will remember when we鈥檙e no longer here.听听Yet we also know that we are tiny specs in a colossal universe.
听
The Blue Marble photo highlights our smallness, as well as our abilities.听听After all, we were able to build the spaceship from which the image was taken, demonstrating incredible mastery of the physical world. Jewish thinkers discuss this paradox. It appears in our prayers on the holiest day of the year Yom Kippur just as the day ends.听听The author of these prayers encourages us to recognise that this tension is part of who we are and to thank God for giving us the gift of life with its many, inbuilt contradictions.
听
One of my favourite ways to think about this is the two pockets of Rabbi Simchah Bunim, after whom my youngest son is named.听听He said that everyone should have two pockets, with a piece of paper in each.听听When we get too big for our boots, we should reach into the first and read the word 鈥業 am but dust and ashes鈥�.听听But when we feel sad or that life is pointless, we should reach into the second and read, 鈥楾he world was created for me鈥�. I believe that it鈥檚 quite natural to go through these 鈥楤lue Marble鈥� moments.听听We can all experience moments at work or at home when we feel a bit superior and may treat others poorly.听听For that, says Simchah Bunim, we need the first pocket 鈥業 am but dust and ashes鈥�.听听But we all also feel downcast sometimes, disappointed with life or love.听听For that, only 鈥榯he world was created for me鈥� will do.听听
