Earth : 2021

Here is a quick History 101 to give you some basic nuts and bolts to the blue marble you live on called planet Earth. In the beginning, with much evidence to prove this, there was a great explosion. What caused that explosion, I don't know. The loud bang as the Sun, the milky ways greatest star, exploded into the furnace that heats our planet. It filled the huge hole that had broken in the center. In all that chaos elements were sucked from corners of space into the forms of planets. Iron and gold and silver and helium came scream in gathering like a snowball right into the record grooves they inhabit today caught in the great gravitational force of our Sun. In the process earth grabbed a little molten liquid pool at its center that was just so intense in heat it never cooled like the large amount of planet around it that had cooled into the form we inhabit now and the evidence is an occasional belch of volcanic eruption that forms a little more firmament when it cools. I don't know where the water came from. Sucked out the darkness around us the particles formed into H2O from the Explosive force and even those elements battled with each other during the creation of our world as water fought with land to create the form we have today. You see the clouds. They can't become so light that they float and escape into outer space. They turn a little more like soup but more like stretching silly putty that is pulled around and about until the particles collide together into storm clouds and rain. We can see this effect when a helium balloon rises in the air and then the temperature deteriorates its lightness and it loses its floating capabilities or its power to float is dismissed so it slowly descends back to Earth. When our world was formed this amazing force was pulled into as well, the atmosphere. Cloud particles are water vapor, floating and visible to the naked eye due to the large concentration in one place. If you look close enough on a clear day, you can sometimes see the beginning of cloud form because seemingly imperceptible particles are usually merely overlooked. But if you watch and look hard you can sometimes see it. Most often between clouds or near clouds as the particles gather together from cirrus to stratus to stratocirrus and cumulus and stratocumulus and nimbus into the ultimate cumulonimbus thunder head that is a thunderstorm cloud. The equivalent to a large cacophonous symphony of nature as weather.  The vapor form when caught in the right light is much like a rainbow as light refracts through the water particles but it is a little more like Easter pastels if you use color comparison to equate it. It's not easy to see but it is beautiful too. Not usually as prevalent as a rainbow. By the way we recently had one of the thunderous hiccups that we call an earthquake when a tremor rippled through Massachusetts, I think like a month ago, and I can't remember but I believe it was below 2 on the Richter scale used to evaluate the force caused by an earth tremor. I think it was back in the early to mid nineties when I first felt the earth shake here where people said they hadn't heard of one in this area before but then the news reported its recognition of it recently, reconfirming to me that I was right about it. By the way, the milkyway has a large gash like formation in it that is visible, perhaps a reminder of the force that formed our planet and the others in our solar system. There was a calm quiet that dominated after the explosion, the serene silence of space, as the planets fell into line. The molten core that became encased in planet Earth is a huge value to its sustain life. It warms from within like an internal temperature as the sun warms from the outside. And the molten core is much like our own heart in regard to simple technical function. Or at least can be compared to, if even in only a poetic way. We are the third rock from the sun and it has been the perfect distance to keep and hold life on the planet but let the seasons be a reminder of how precious life is. I feel like winter truly pushes us to the brink. A healthy reminder of the value of life and its sometimes fragile balance. The only known planet that has been able to contain, or in other words house and sustain life. Something we mustn't forget. Life is a miracle, each year is a clock and human beings are the biggest worry when comes to the simple delicate balance of life. And even though we are most likely what would destroy Earth we shouldn't take our attention away from outside forces. Elements of outer space and possible collision. These are where our attentions need to be. For wherein we have the power to ruin we so-in have the power to keep safe and protect. That is where our focus needs to be.
