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.
People would marvel at the bumps on it and the
holes in it. 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 as sacred because it was the only one,
and they would protect it so that it would not
be hurt. The ball would be the greatest wonder
known, and people would come to pray to 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 could be nothing
without it.
