deep time

Do you ever stop to think how amazing it is that a burning gas and plasma ball emits heat and light 93 million miles from Earth, sediments and magma turn into rock, and continent-sized tectonic plates move around causing uplift at rates of centimeters per year for millions of years until mountains are formed.

awsome colors, makes me feel warm and cozy,
but i think if the sun would just be popping
out of the bottom left it would really set
this picture on fire.

Yes, you are right--this photo is like the
strata of deep time. I enjoyed the
scientifically philosophical interlude! And I
agree totally with the quote. Maybe that's
why I love New Mexico--both its landscape and
its culture are conducive to that POV.

especially in view to to the future.)
