Earthrise:
We live in a dynamic universe powered by change.
Everything changes:
planets, stars and galaxies -
atoms, molecules and cells -
flowers, trees and people.
There is life here. There is love here. . . . and mysteries.
We come, we go. Everything comes, everything goes.
It’s natural. It’s astonishing. It’s even beautiful.
Religions of the past taught superstition:
- the world is a three layer cake: heaven above, humans in the middle, and hell below.
- the world is ruled by gods and goddesses, angels and demons, unicorns and fairies.
Today we live in a world of GPS and cell phones, computers and DNA.
Our world now has: stars above, humans in the middle, and atoms below.
No gods or fairies. No hell below us, above us only sky.
New journeys, new dreams, require new worldviews.
Here we will survey what we have learned since Columbus sailed 500 years ago
and build a new vision of our world today - a twenty-first century worldview.
Come, my friends, ’Tis not too late to seek a newer world.
Come, my friends,
’Tis not too late to seek a newer world.
Push off, and sitting well in order smite
The sounding furrows; for my purpose holds
To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths
Of all the western stars, until I die.
It may be that the gulfs will wash us down:
It may be we shall touch the Happy Isles,
And see the great Achilles, whom we knew.
Tho’ much is taken, much abides; and tho’
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
— Tennyson. . .
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
