Atmosphere

January 15, 2008

The more and more I think about it, the more strange it seems. I am not sure if I really like having too much of an understanding of certain things. At first I was thinking about how it would be really cool to play a show on the moon, then I started thinking about how sound travels and how much louder it would need to be on the moon to get the same audible effect as blasting a venue here on Earth.

From there my mind takes me to how this atmosphere here keeps us humans alive. The trees and plants work off of certain elements to produce another element, one of which we create and breath out after breathing in what it has created, and the cycle continues over and over.

Then as I am driving I see some traffic, hundreds of cars slowly creeping forward in line…in line like ants are in line while working. We are just another set of molecules, like ants, that has adapted to use elements around us to help us reproduce and make more of ourselves. We have also developed a mind smart enough to realize that this is exactly what is happening.

Or have we?
