Grounded Infinity

My 07/26/25 postcard comes from a concrete structure near Ortega Hall, home to a weathered bronze plaque that marks “The Center of the Universe.” Technically, every point in space is the center, since the universe expands equally in all directions. Which makes this spot less a claim than a reminder: meaning can exist anywhere we choose to stop and notice.
