Thank you, Billy. That was a lovely way to start the day. :-)
This afternoon was taking things easy and thinking about a book that I got from Billy for Christmas this year...what the bleep do we know. It's based on the movie, What the Bleep do we know.
Anyway, I came across something on the internet that I thought would be perfect for this very night...
Before sharing it with you, think about what it is that you know for sure...
And with that...
Thirty years ago, on Christmas Eve 1968, the entire world listened as three men read from the book of Genesis. Though the words were familiar to many, they held special meaning that night. The men reading the words had just, for the first time in history, traveled far enough away from the Earth to see the entire planet at once. As Frank Borman, Jim Lovell and Bill Anders looked back at the Earth from their spacecraft orbiting the Moon, they saw a magnificent blue and white sphere floating in the vast darkness of space.
For a brief moment, people throughout world came together in a spirit of peace, a sense of wonder, and a celebration of achievement. Never before had we beheld such a distant and unifying perspective of our beautiful home.
Today, we are more interconnected and interdependent than ever. We travel together through time and space, yet we focus too often on the things which divide us. In so doing we bring about unnecessary suffering and despair. From 200,000 miles away, imagine how pointless most of our squabbles would appear.
Though we are each unique and special, our common interests far outweigh our differences. On this day of giving, the best gifts we can give and receive still are peace and good will.
And to all a good night
I'm Happy, I'm Healthy, I'm Strong
And that's what I know for sure!
