Make It Matter!!

"You are here."
You've seen these words, of course. You've seen them at Disneyworld, or mall plazas, or on New York subway maps, or those little informational pamphlets they give you at the start of every cruise-liner island jaunt.

"You are here."
You know where you are. You are *there*. You're that little dot perpetually standing next to the entrance of Galaxy's Edge, or along the fifth mile of the C line. You're grounded. You're in place in your identical copy of the map's little world.

"You are here."
You're somewhere in the US, probably, statistically, if you're reading this. Maybe you live in the tri-state area. If you do, you know what state. Connecticut, or New Jersey, or New York. And you know your county. Your town. But you'd struggle to identify your county on a blank map, i bet. Your town would be even harder, your thumbtack missing by probably dozens of printed miles.

"You are here."
You definitely live on planet Earth if you're reading this (though i would love to be proven wrong). Good Old Mother Earth, with her not-even-8,000-mile diameter. Mother Earth, who is our one chance at *being here.* Could you find her on her respective map? Could you be shown a complete and comprehensive 3D map of even... a fraction of a fraction of our universe, our *galaxy*, and point to a spot, and go "I am here?"

"You are here."
Don't dwell on where here is. Your present time and place is as good as mine.
