A Thought
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If the World were a few feet in diameter, floating a few feet
|
|||
|
|
above a field somewhere, people would come from everywhere to
|
|||
|
|
marvel at it.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
People would walk around it, marvelling at it's big pools of
|
|||
|
|
water, it's little pools of water and the way the water flowed
|
|||
|
|
between the pools.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
People would marvel at the bumps on it and the holes in it, and
|
|||
|
|
they would marvel at the very thin layer of gas surrounding it
|
|||
|
|
and the water suspended in the gas.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The people would marvel at all the creatures walking around on
|
|||
|
|
the surface of the ball and at the creatures in the water.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The people would declare it sacred because it was the only one,
|
|||
|
|
and they would protect it so that it would not be hurt. The ball
|
|||
|
|
would be the greatest wonder known, and the people would come to
|
|||
|
|
pray to it, to be healed, to gain knowledge, to know the beauty
|
|||
|
|
and to wonder how it could be.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
People would love it and defend it with their lives, their own
|
|||
|
|
roundness, could be nothing without it.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If the earth were a few feet in diameter.
