Random Weirdness #341


* If the *
* Earth were only *
* a few feet in diameter, floating a *
* few feet above a field somewhere, *
* people would come from everywhere to *
* marvel at it. People would walk around it, *
* marveling at its big pools of water, its little pools *
* and the water flowing between the pools. People would *
* marvel at the bumps on it, and the holes in it, and they *
* would marvel at the very thin layer of gas surrounding it and *
* the water suspended in the gas. The people would marvel at *
* all the creatures walking around the surface of the ball, and *
* at the creatures in the water. The people would declare it *
* precious because it was the only one, and they would protect *
* it so that it would never be hurt. The ball would be the *
* greatest wonder known, and people would come to behold *
* it, to be healed, to gain knowledge, to know beauty *
* and to wonder how it could be. People would love *
* it, and defend it with their lives, because *
* they would somehow know that their *
* lives, their own roundness, could be *
* nothing without it. If the Earth *
* were only a few feet in *
* diameter.*
