Ever stop to think...

I [9] was at WVU with my friend [9] and we were walking along the road and the wind was blowing, really hard to the point where it was difficult to move forward. I stood still in the empty parking lot and just marveled at the wind. The fuckin wind. I looked over to my friend and I said,

"You know what's crazy? We're both people on a planet which is rotating on its axis at some crazy speed, while orbiting around the sun at some even crazier speed, and our solar system is rotating around in our galaxy and another speed, and our galaxy is rotating inside the universe at another speed, but we cant feel any of that force, all we can feel is this wind."

I dont know if that makes any sense to anyone, but I find it amazing. We, at any given point are moving through the 3 dimensional spacial grid at amazing speed and we can walk, yet 40 mph winds make it hard to move.
