Earth

KJ took this picture and posted it on her blog. The picture is just amazing. The flower is pretty good too. Capturing this image is a talent that helps one stay positive. The other day I was driving behind a car and saw a bumper sticker. It said something about the "Earth" and I at first figured it would be a save the earth type comment and would be more or less political in motive. Anyway I had to speed up a little to really see what it said but it said............"We don't own the Earth, the Earth owns us". As impressed as I was with the thought I don't claim to have it down exactly here today but the thought is pretty significant. When you see a flower like this or look up to the mountains it is pretty clear that the "Earth" indeed is in charge as far as were concerned. I have always been amazed when I fly somewhere and as I look out of the window down at the Earth. It is so much bigger than we often think. Our place on the Earth and in the Universe is pretty small yet we find so much of the real beauty of it all "at our disposal".
