Africa

Visions of African plains. The sun sets large, round, and red seemingly melting the dusty ground. The acacia trees run parallel to the lines of oily heat in the air. Giraffe profiles become dark as do the tops of the trees. Warm and peaceful. The simplicity creates more space for the awe in our hearts.

The beginnings of humanity will become the end...FULL CIRCLE, always.

This is the way it is, the way it will be. We all come from Africa, it is everybody's homeland. We must care for ourselves. We are all humanity.

NAMASTE.

Namaste is a wonderful word. It is a greeting and a salutation and a meditation. It is an understanding also. The true nature of life is within this word, in a sense. Namaste can be translated in different ways. I believe it to mean that My Inner Essence acknowledges Yours. And, these essences within you, me, and everyone alive is equal and peaceful, beautiful, and perfect. It is also one with the universe!

Speaking of the Universe....I've started to read a new book, just out, called "Before the Big Bang, The Prehistory of Our Universe." It's very interesting. Brian Clegg, the author offers a lot of the scientific history of cosmology, including Greek and Egyptian mythology. The most important aspect to remember, as he explains, is that all science is just theory, even when hypotheses are proven they are still ideas tested within relative limits. Therefore, science has evolved and theories have changed and been replaced. The Big Bang theory, Clegg says, was formulated by a Catholic Priest originally and the concept is very similar to the Biblical Creation story. Very interesting stuff.

And, recently I found this following video on NPR.org. This seems to show a new solar system emerging within our Milky Way. So, a new sun, a new earth may be coming into existence not so far away. Maybe some of us will go over there and help humans not repeat some of our mistakes this time! Check out the whole article:
