Just Thinking About It Janet Kuypers 3/24/17 It makes me dizzy, dizzy, dizzy in my head* to just think about it — the Earth is spinning on it’s circular axis as it’s circling around our Sun. And our entire Solar System, it’s catching a ride at the end of one of the arms of our spiral Milky Way Galaxy, riding on the edge of another massive circle. My head is swimming when I think of this spinning, because even if I think I’m sitting still, I think of how I’m hurtling through the cosmos in one cosmic circle after another, and it makes me dizzy, dizzy, dizzy in my head.   * quoting a line from the song “Dizzy”, by Danielle Dax
