shrinking man [finale]

classic final verse of 'the incredible shrinking man'**
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 beyond 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 [God'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!!!

**[this gets me every time.... once a bright-eyed boy watching this felt the pull of the eternal, and the Creator Himself used that moment to capture a heart forever in the pursuit of finding and knowing that place where there is no 'dimension'.... only wonder and infinite love..]

clearly one of the most powerful endings in movie history, but also very sad, here's a man that endured tragedies in his life, eventually losing all contact with humans forever. touches the heart

This inspired me as a child. And now it inspires me as a child once more.

Such a good finale!

Thanks for uploading this ending scene . It wasn't on the movie. It had been cut out

Thank you so much for posting this. The large and the small do meet when the universe turns itself inside out. Ref Futurama: Leave the spaceship where it is and move the universe instead. USS Enterprise will look like a garden snail then

Non coerceri maximo, contineri tamen a minimo, divinum est!

[@mykulanjelo]

divinum est! infinitum...
