The Life of a Paradox

How is it that man can be both miniscal and brillant?
Both meaningless and exalted?
How is man a living paradox?
Man in comparison with all existence is but an atom in the ocean.
The universe is too vast for man to explore or imagine.
Yet man is chosen by God to be in His image, to be the caretaker of all creation, to reflect
His love and to receive His salvation.
Perhaps in the eyes of the cosmos, man is like a flea.
Yet even our fleaness is made up of intricate details.
The seemingly insignificant skin covers the body parts, the body parts house tendons,
organs, bones, the organs house blood... It appears that all the vastness of the universe is
also contained in man.
Praise be to God for the beauty of all creation. Awe to it's wonder. Even the atom in the ocean has been intricately crafted to contain spledour and glory.
