The Earth as Seen from Apollo 17. Original caption: "View of the Earth as seen by the Apollo 17 crew traveling toward the moon. This translunar coast photograph extends from the Mediterranean Sea area to the Antarctica south polar ice cap. This is the first time the Apollo trajectory made it possible to photograph the south polar ice cap. Note the heavy cloud cover in the Southern Hemisphere. Almost the entire coastline of Africa is clearly visible. The Arabian Peninsula can be seen at the northeastern edge of Africa. The large island off the coast of Africa is Madagascar. The Asian mainland is on the horizon toward the northeast."

Such a beautiful sight! Imagine if “I” could play, whatever “reality” might swing about.. ..all over this ball.. “I could seriously have some fun!” ..and I’m positive others would too.
Enjoy the shit out of reality, it only gets better from here! (If you enjoy it.) (..Screw the negativity, be aware (as you choose) of the sheisse but, focus your life-force energy toward “personal freedom” and “personal awareness”, (quality sights).
“We” can take our sight and minds wherever we choose,.. this could be promising!?

AN AFFIRMATION FOR PLANET EARTH
Yoko Ono Lennon
December 8, 2009
On the anniversary of the passing of my husband, John Lennon,
I would like you to share an affirmation with me.
Think it, say it, with firm belief,
knowing that we are all one.
In the name of truth, peace and love:
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Our planet is healthy and whole,
We, the people of Earth
See clearly, Hear clearly, Think clearly.
Make the right judgement, right decision and the right move
For the benefit of our planet and others.
We are now bathing in the light of Dawn,
Standing in the Heaven we have created together,
Sharing the Joy
With all Lives on Earth
And of the Universe,
As we are all one, united with infinite and eternal love.
actually – that was a composite of many images, by the same title
Is this a photo? The colors look a little painterly.
today was the 37th anniversary of the original “big blue marble” photograph taken on the apollo 17 mission. it seemed to me a lovely reminder of what we’re hoping our leaders will decide to save in copenhagen.
“I left Earth three times. I found no place else to go. Please take care of Spaceship Earth.”

“On the first day we all pointed to our countries. On the third or fourth day we all pointed to our continents. By the fifth day, we were aware of only one Earth.”
