And yet, on a summer's day, it is just right to warm the skin to a pleasant temperature, bring out the smiles and start sunny circles. It's nearly enough to make me believe in 'intelligent design'.
(sunny circles is my name for ... the sun shines, you start smiling, you come into my shop and because you're smiling I start smiling, because I'm smiling the next customer i serve starts smiling, and so on)

Re: The Sun
The Sun, and the position of the Earth, is just right to bring humanity to ask that question!Stonemaybe wrote:www.nineplanets.org/sol.html

That may be how it works in the UK, but when the sun shines here, I just try to find the shade.Stonemaybe wrote: (sunny circles is my name for ... the sun shines, you start smiling, you come into my shop and because you're smiling I start smiling, because I'm smiling the next customer i serve starts smiling, and so on)

you're more advanced than a cockroach,
have you ever tried explaining yourself
to one of them?
~ alan bates, the mothman prophecies
i've had this with actors before, on the set,
where they get upset about the [size of my]
trailer, and i'm always like...take my trailer,
cause... i'm from Kentucky
and that's not what we brag about.

the fold - searching for our
lost cities of gold. burnt tar,
gravel pits. sixteen gears switch.

My personal faith has little or nothing to do with these external coincidences, but there're so many of them and they're so... weird.It just happens that the Moon and the Sun appear the same size in the sky as viewed from the Earth. And since the Moon orbits the Earth in approximately the same plane as the Earth's orbit around the Sun sometimes the Moon comes directly between the Earth and the Sun.
Also, that 40 to the 10th power stuff... *clutches head*
the rue of the melody could not be mistaken

The example I usually use to explain the negative side of them is of a person walking into a shop, and getting too much change. Now that's great. But the shopkeeper realises and is upset, and short-changes the next customer, who gets angry when he realises, goes home and kicks the dog, who barks and wakes the baby, who screams and pisses off the wife and the neighbour, and so it goes.
The reverse is a much better way of dong it.

Forgive me for using this example as it's a bit depressing but take Hurricane Katrina last year. A tremendously powerful physical force of nature is transformed over a period of weeks into a political, human, emotional storm sparking off feelings of grief & sorrow, anger, resentment, racial injustice, indignation etc. (and, I presume, hope too!)
Suppose it all gets a bit chaos theory at some point. A butterful flaps its wings in Tibet...How curious the idea that chaos theory and karma could be linked...?
I like to think of it as a domino effect - karmic dominoes, if you like! It's a wonderful example of the complex interplay of cause and effect in the universe...and how quickly and profoundly energy can change form.The example I usually use to explain the negative side of them is of a person walking into a shop, and getting too much change.
