Thanks John... I am compelled to add the following, I hope you don't mind:

"How utterly we have forsaken the Earth, in the sense of excluding it from our thoughts. There are but few who consider its physical hugeness, its rough enormity. It is still a disparate monstrosity, full of solitudes and barrens and wilds. It still dwarfs and terrifies and crushes. The rivers still roar, the mountains still crash, the winds still shatter. Man... somehow... has managed to shut out the face of the giant from his windows. But the giant is there, nevertheless..."
--- Wallace Stevens, "Eye to Eye With Hurricanes", 1994


Important as well to respect the forces that govern our existence. Thanks.
