tsuwm, I probably should have said "full-time"--I doubt that anyone plans to spend the rest of their life up there!

Oh, william, you write so beautifully! And so truly, too--
I do believe that what makes us fear others is often that they exemplify in some way something that we fear is in ourselves. I think in some ways the earth might be crying, but oh, couldn't it be a bubble of joy, just as well? All
blue and white and swirling from sheer exuberance at all the wondrous things life has to offer? Why, the very seasons, caused by its orbiting, are miraculous! And its guardian/nurse, the moon, delicately pulling earth's skirt of tides down for modesty? Oh! Don't forget its self-adornment of a rainbow necklace! No, a tiara! Oh, we do all of us have troubles, but we have so much to be
thankful for, too!
