Collective Sentience in context: Where nothing appears to be
The Hubble Deep Field:

Ten thousand galaxies, from looking at a tiny part of the night sky.
If we were to look at the whole sky, we would need to point the
Hubble telescope to more than twelve million more small patches
of the sky.
120 billion galaxies, each one with more than a hundred billion stars,
and, who knows, around some of them, civilizations, collectively
sentient beings, with beating hearts just like us, with eyes filled
with wonder, looking at a far distant corner of their universe,
a small patch where nothing appears to be, save for us.
Not what the vision is, but what the vision does.
How far do you see?
