(Q) Quantum Querulous (The Time-Eater)

Thinking of Earth, Space and big things...

Up until now, all pictures and writing has been my own. But I don't live in a vacuum. My son showed me this picture from the Hubble telescope yesterday - ok, it looks like any other space picture here, but follow the link below it, to the original picture in Wikipedia.

Each time you click on the picture there, it magnifies... the galaxies you only see pictures of in books are real, and they are beautiful! Knowing that these pictures have been taken from just outside of our atmosphere puts our little world into perspective.
Yet smaller and petty are our wars, battled out on the very thin crust.
How teeny-tiny our own lives - like the sub-atomic quarks, unseen in the bigger picture, but there nevertheless.

And how strange that the importance of all this is usually inverted, so that all we see is our own immediate, personal little worlds...

And thinking of the enormous aspects of our own little globe - I came across this very lovely idea of Mimi Lenox on her site:

Mimi Writes.......: Dona nobis pacem in the Blogosphere

Her idea is for all bloggers, on one day of the year (November 7th 2006) , to write a blog titled "Dona Nobis Pacem" [translated meaning "Grant us Peace"] and to display their own signed globe (see sidebar for mine) to show unity in the world's desire for peace. What a cool idea, that if everyone did this, when you went to search the blogs, every link would say the same "Dona Nobis Pacem" - Each voice joining to others to produce a heartfelt 'shout'!

I personally think it a great idea!

And now, because I'm running short of time today, I found a short, but apt, one of my 'Monsters 4 Bed' rhymes:
