How about this painting, Starry Night?
Try to appreciate the colors, the textures, the shapes, the spaces. Is this not one of the most contradicting thing you have ever seen in your life?
One of my favorite classes in college was Art Appreciation, not because it was easy, but because it was... complicated. This in conjunction with my fascination with the heavens (i.e. crystal clear stars against a perfect pitch black sky) is what gets my head whirling about. Imagine laying down with your head rested on your arms behind your head as you stare up at the clear starry night. Can you see all the constellations? Notice the twinkling of distant stars? Look! Did you see that shooting star!? Notice the neighboring arm of the Milky Way Galaxy? Can you feel how significant yet so insignificant we are in this universe? This is beyond what dreams are made of. This is what the human mind is made of.
