Earth from Space

Saturn has its' many rings
We both share the same sun.
And Jupiter has its' many moons
While poor old Earth has only one.

Now, Mars might look good in red,
And Venus has its' clouds.
But when I see the Earth from space,
It makes me very proud.

We've got greens and blues and reds.
It's colorful, what we are.
So, why at night when I go to bed,
Do I wish upon a Star?

Why We Will Never Win

With all the talk of the Earth being in peril due to the antics of mankind I thought that this photo might calm everyone down a bit.
Until 2 years ago a house stood on the spot you are looking at. All that remains of the home are the steps- and they too will soon be overtaken by nature.

We can give the planet a hard time- as we are at present. But in the end it will not be mankind destroying the planet. No, it will be mankind destroying ourselves and the planet will simply go on to cleanse itself of our presence.

So conserve what you can while you can; but remember this; when the Earth has had enough of us, we will be gone. She will regenerate and remain. And I find that comforting....
