A view like this

There is something sobering about seeing Earth in the distance from the Martian surface.  It takes the platitude of thinking outside the box to a new and higher level.  It is so abnormal to see the Earth at a distance that it makes you feel as if you are an alien looking in on the activities of humans.  "Those Earthlings need to have a view like this," you tell yourself.  "Then they wouldn't really be the way they are."

The rover Curiosity, transmitting from the moon, allows for such views.  That's what scientific inquiry does for any who would follow its principles.  It allows one to see the bigger picture,  to appreciate the wonder of accomplishment and the challenge of the yet unknown.   It causes a hundred different thoughts to pulse through your mind, to view something  from a really, really different vantage point.

I congratulate one who is now looking at Earth, marveling at her accomplishment, saying "Those Earthlings need to have a view like this."  Now the world is at your beck and call.  I know you will change what you see and touch the world to heal it.  I am always proud of you my Godgyfu.
