In the early hours of October 3rd in Golden, British Columbia, the cosmos made an uninvited and nearly fatal visit to an ordinary bedroom. Ruth Hamilton, asleep in her home, was spared by the narrowest of margins when a meteorite punched through her ceiling and came to rest between her pillows — the very space her head had occupied moments before. The incident reminds us that the boundary between the vast indifference of the universe and the fragile particularity of a human life can, on rare occasion, be measured in inches.
