This is our home. . . .we should enjoy it. . . .but we must preserve it for those that follow us. You are looking at probably the best picture ever taken of our earth. Here is a quotation from The Seven Mysteries of Life, by Guy Murchie: "Behold the body of Earth floating in living reality a thousand miles below us. See it, big as day, basking upon the black light of nothing, bedizened with stars--its mammose rotundity all fluted and furled in softest shades of bluish gray streaked with white. Sometimes, looking at it out of the space station I imagine I'm in, I get the definite but indescribable feeling that this my maternal planet is somehow actually breathing---faintly sighing in her sleep--ever so slowly winking and wimpling in the benign light of the sun, while her musclelike clouds writhe in their own meteoric tempo as veritable tissues of a thing alive . . . . . . . . .I just cannot imagine anything being false if only it be beautiful enough. For beauty is its own proof, and it pertains very much to the world. I mean I don't think my dreams capable of portraying anything more beautiful than this world and universe . . ."
