Our place on earth

Spend time with the photo

We are supported 

by that same process 

that brought the Earth into being,

 that power that spun the galaxies into space, 

that lit the sun and brought the moon into its orbit. 

Those same forces are still present.

 

We feel their impact and understand

that we are not isolated in the chill of space 

with the burden of the future upon us 

and without the aid of any other power.

​

We are supported by that power 

that spun the galaxies into space.
