And In Their Place Came---Acceptance

Scott Carey's final narrated soliloquoy as he shrivels out of sight:
So close--the infinitesimal and the infinite. But suddenly, I knew they were really the two ends of the same concept. The unbelievably small and the unbelievably vast eventually meet, like the closing of a gigantic circle. I looked up, as if somehow I would grasp the heavens...the universe...worlds without number...God's silver tapestry spread across the night. And in that moment, I knew the answer to the riddle of the infinite. I had thought in terms of Man's own limited dimension. I had presumed upon Nature. That existence begins and ends is Man's conception, not Nature's. And I felt my body dwindling, melting, becoming nothing. My fears melted away, and in their place came--acceptance. All this vast majesty of creation--it had to mean something. And then I meant something too. Yes, smaller than the smallest, I meant something too. To God there is no zero. I STILL EXIST!
--The Incredible Shrinking Man (1957)
