This passage bespeaks of a feeling that many of us have experienced....a feeling of awe and, of appreciation.? The many?meteorite specimens?of which we are guardians, are not simply numbers in a global catalog. They are evidence of an existence outside our own world.....proof that we reside within a living, fluid universe.? These exemplars of rock and iron remind us that our own existence......our presence on this?planet?"potential meteor" we call Earth,?is not as much dependent on our?determination as it is on "luck".? Lend an eye to the heavens, and your heart to the Earth. ? Best regards, ? Paul Received on Thu 07 Sep 2006 10:27:07 PM PDT |
