Dan: I didn't consider time though of course in a sense I did. The arrow of time moves just one way. How often would we go back if we could and undo that which has been done... a second chance, if you will. But, that is an impossibility. But, it gives me pause to consider... > > The wind we expierience, is the very same old wind Columbus was breathing, > the same old stuff that was surrounding Ceasar > or Jesus on the mountain,......it is also feeding us with air, and will do > so forever, coming in waves, wind comes in waves. Dan: The ancients considered the earth to be the receptive and the sky to be the creative. Together, they bring forth all that we need to survive. When the earth grows old (as it must, as all patterns must) the sky will swallow it and the wind will cease its incessant movement. By then, we will be long gone.
