Is small beautiful?

Small is beautiful... true. But is big not beautiful, too?

Today I heard a wise woman say (I am very loosely quoting her): "the higher you go, the less detail you see; that is why the universe includes small creatures: because God loves detail, as well as wideness and heights".

The object of one's attention may be small. Scientists know about this. They deliberately limit their view, that they might penetrate the nature of their field of study through sheer concentration.

There are advantages to contemplating the universe in small chunks. So long as we don't lose perspective: every morsel belongs to the whole. All numbers stem from the one.
