Thorns and thistles outside. Compared to the neighborhood the earth really is the Garden of Eden.

Saturday morning observation
I watch my 3D printer working busily away this late winter morning and marvel at what it is doing. It would have been a flabbergasting miracle in 1960 and still is despite the dulling of that by future shock. I can design and manufacture a part in my workshop on a wintery Saturday morning while I sip my coffee and marvel at the miracles of life in 2022.
Written in Stone
Our lives are written in stone when we pass. We will never do another thing in this material world and nothing further can be changed. Then as winters come and go and years pass the symbols begin to fade. They weather away and dissipate until at long last nothing but the ghost of our memory remains and the world rushes on in the distant future unaware we ever were.
2022
Our problem as a species is, science. We learned too much. We were better off in the days of dragons, fairies, gods and unexplored lands. Now we have bombs, pollution, overpopulation, and that Venus is hot as an oven. Our knowledge has exceeded our emotions.
