I am looking at a raindrop
Imagine
In that raindrop is
A whole universe
In that universe is a constellation
we call
the Milky Way
and in the Milky Way
is our Solar System.
Imagine
you
are in that Solar System
standing on the planet Earth
and I
am looking at the raindrop.
How much of me can you see?
How much of you can I see ?
