<FONT COLOR="#000000">Dear all,</FONT>
<BR><FONT COLOR="#000000"> i found this rummaging around
in some forgotten boxes and thought that you would like to read this little
bit..</FONT>
<CENTER><FONT COLOR="#000000">If the Earth</FONT></CENTER>
<CENTER><FONT COLOR="#000000"> were only
a few feet in</FONT></CENTER>
<CENTER><FONT COLOR="#000000"> diameter,
floating a few feet above</FONT></CENTER>
<CENTER><FONT COLOR="#000000"> a
field somewhere, people
would come</FONT></CENTER>
<CENTER><FONT COLOR="#000000"> from
everywhere to marvel at
it. People would</FONT></CENTER>
<CENTER><FONT COLOR="#000000"> walk around
it, marveling at its big
pools of water,</FONT></CENTER>
<CENTER><FONT COLOR="#000000"> its
little pools and the water flowing
between the pools.</FONT></CENTER>
<CENTER><FONT COLOR="#000000"> People would marvel
at the bumps on it, and the holes
in it,</FONT></CENTER>
<CENTER><FONT COLOR="#000000"> and they would
marvel at the very thin layer of
gas surrounding</FONT></CENTER>
<CENTER><FONT COLOR="#000000"> it and
the water suspended in
the gas. The people would</FONT></CENTER>
<CENTER><FONT COLOR="#000000"> marvel at all
the creatures in the water. The people would
declare it</FONT></CENTER>
<CENTER><FONT COLOR="#000000"> as sacred
because it was the only one,
and they would protect</FONT></CENTER>
<CENTER><FONT COLOR="#000000"> it
so that it would
not be hurt. The
ball would be the</FONT></CENTER>
<CENTER><FONT COLOR="#000000"> greatest
wonder known, and
people would come
to</FONT></CENTER>
<CENTER><FONT COLOR="#000000"> pray to
i to be healed, to
gain knowledge, to know</FONT></CENTER>
<CENTER><FONT COLOR="#000000">beauty
and to wonder how
it could be. People</FONT></CENTER>
<CENTER><FONT COLOR="#000000"> would love
it, and defend it
with their lives</FONT></CENTER>
<CENTER><FONT COLOR="#000000"> because
they would somehow
know that</FONT></CENTER>
<CENTER><FONT COLOR="#000000"> their lives,
their own roundness, could</FONT></CENTER>
<CENTER><FONT COLOR="#000000"> be
nothing without it. If
the</FONT></CENTER>
<CENTER><FONT COLOR="#000000"> Earth
were only a few</FONT></CENTER>
<CENTER><FONT COLOR="#000000"> feet
in diameter</FONT></CENTER>
<CENTER><FONT COLOR="#000000">Hope the holidays are treating you well</FONT></CENTER>
