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.
