Perhaps you have heard of or have seen the recently released photograph of the massive black hole at the center of the Milky Way.  It's quite amazing, and not just for the photographic effect.  It's amazing because it tells us that at the heart of the massive Milky Way, the star formation which has been the fodder of countless stories, legends, and speculations, lies a point at which all tale and light ends.  Though on this planet, safely ensconced in its gravity and gravitational pull, we are free to dream and vision about what is beyond us, we dare not think of a place where this can no longer happen.  A place exceeding normal sensibility, a place not subject to form or definition.

    A point of overwhelmingness.  Maybe this black hole has done us a favor.  It demonstrates to us that for all our human ability, we may never fathom what such a place means.  We may never be able to comprehend such beyondness.

    Maybe, however, that's the point:  we're frightfully, and wonderfully, human.
