I came across this on the net and I thought it was amazingly cool! It really captures the fractalness of the universe.

Exactly! Picture this before you have anything stressful coming up, like a big business deal or proposal, or a speech, or whatever makes your nervous, it will help

I love that quote, like a dust particle in a ray of light.......

doesn't it seem as though this universe is just a bedazzling mirage placed before our very eyes to hide a reality that really might be?

Some of the quantum physicists believe there could be carbon copies of our worlds (including you and me) situated somewhere so far away at the opposite end of this universe that we'd possibly never find our duplicate lives.

also reminds me of the Carl Sagan quote and the Pale Blue Dot:

Profound - love that last line - on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam


Also reminds me of that phrase - You can't see the Forest for the Trees... that always puts stuff in perspective for me whenever situations/life gets outta hand.
