And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it, and to keep it.
Genesis 2:15
How are we keeping it?

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity,
and I'm not sure about the former.
I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought,
but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.
Albert Einstein, 1879 - 1955

If you cannot find it right where you are standing,
where do you expect to go in search of it?

Our Place From Space
On June 27, the European Space Agency (ESA) presented the United Nations with a picture of the planet Earth from 500 miles up. The picture is a mosaic of images captured by ESA's Envisat satellite, the largest Earth observation spacecraft ever built. It took six months, and 1,561 orbits to capture the entire planet, and the result is a true colour photographic record of the state of our planet at this moment in history, to be handed down to future generations. In the words of Dr Volker Liebig, ESA Director of Earth Observation Programmes, “Forests, desert, mountains and oceans are clearly visible. The mosaic shows the state of the planet at the beginning of the 21st century from a perspective only satellites can deliver.” Click on below image for the full spectacular high resolution photo.

What if they gave a war and nobody came?
Life would ring the bells of ecstasy, and forever be itself again.
