I'm a big dork, a Rob Brezny/Free Will Astrology fan, and generally bonkers for Truth and Beauty.
Below are links to satellite images of Earth's Water that I just picked out from maps.google.com. They're True in that they're real, and they're beautiful to me in the shapes, the almost anumate spirit visible within each, a vibrancy of transformation.
We're in the 6th (i think) global extinction in the history of the planet. More species disappear every year now than have in the last billion years. The earth's climate is changing rapidly, precious topsoil is giving way to desert at a rate that bodes poorly for agriculture as we know it. Fresh water is in high demand.
Humankind has become the eye in the hurricane.
Yet there's a fine line between death and rebirth - stick your arm up to the elbow in compost, decaying plants, and you'll find the wet warmth of life preparing the soil of the future.
(see scale bar in Lower Right corner of each)
central russia's agriculture
big eye watching central russia
bye-bye polar bears
hello blue-green algae
the prettiest little crater (or alien eyeball?) I ever did see
