             GRAND DESIGN
          By ... Steve Lucky

Who notices the microscopic life
Found on a speck of dust
Resting on the floor?
Such creatures are probably 
Not even aware of our existence.
Does that make their life any less important
Than the life we can see all around us?
Could anyone elsewhere in the universe
Possibly notice the lifeforms called human beings?
Our home, the earth, is like a speck of dust
Floating in the great sea known as the universe.
Despite this undeniable fact, 
Human beings should not be considered
Any less important
In the grand design of the universe.
Everything, whether large or small,
Relates to the rest of the universe
On its own scale.
These scales are far too different
For learning which one is the best.
Each scale adds its own unique contribution,
More than one scale is needs for a good concept
Of the vast complexities of the universe.
Perhaps the best scale
Is whichever one is needed at the moment,
But the moment is a scale of time
So the original question remains.
All things large and small, near and far,
Timeless and instantaneous,
Can be found in the grand design.
