I know. We can not just imagine that image—we can make that image real. It gives me shivers.

The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King

All of this is very cool!

(And, looking at Impy's post above, I'm struck anew with the thought that all of that looks like a heart. )

That's exactly what I was thinking! We are part of the heart of the universe, which is part of a giant being—God, perhaps? (And God could be defined in so many ways.)
