*Picture a bright blue ball,
just spinnin', spinnin' free,
Dizzy with eternity.
Paint it with a skin of sky,
Brush in some clouds and sea,
Call it home for you and me.
A peaceful place, or so it looks from space,
A closer look reveals the human race.
Full of hope, full of grace
Is the human face,
But afraid we may lay our home to waste.

The Church says that the earth is flat, but I
know that it is round, for I have seen the shadow on the moon, and I have more
faith in a shadow than in the Church.

immensity and eternity is our tiny planetary home.
