to think about

Because the earth is round, if I stand one foot away from you, I am both one foot away and almost an entire world away.
Because space is a grid of geodesics, if I stand one inch away from you, I am both one inch away and an entire universe away.
Every time I step one inch closer, I also step one inch backwards.
Every time I get the closest to you one human being can possibly get, the universe in all of its immensity stretches between us, prying us apart.
