This concept occurred to me years ago while studying the concept of limits and infinity in calculus. The idea is that there are different types of infinity. In life, we look for experiences, but just like infinity, you can find them just about anywhere. Sure, if you keep counting higher and higher, you've found a big infinity. But there's also infinity by getting smaller and smaller numbers, like dividing by two. How does this apply to life? Well, there are the big events, like the birth of a child or visiting Paris or New York. But there's also the small events, like finding that perfect mac n cheese in a small town diner. Here, we celebrate both... the big AND the small.
