What's your relationship to the Earth?

Posted on Apr 22nd, 2007 by

"That's here. That's home. That's us. On it, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever lived, lived out their lives. The aggregate of all our joys and sufferings, thousands of confident religions, ideologies and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilizations, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every hopeful child, every mother and father, every inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every superstar, every supreme leader, every saint and sinner in the history of our species, lived there on a mote of dust, suspended in a sunbeam."

-- Carl Sagan.

It's Earth Day. Here's a larger picture of our little planet--the only home we know. What do you feel when you see this? What does it bring up for you?

I love and appreciate the Earth. I hope it survives Global Warming, or we won't. I hope, maybe after the Rapture, God will replenish the Earth.
