| Water defies so many rules of
physics I sometimes wonder whether it itself is the one and only lifeform, we and flowers and moss and mites and a- moebi and all the rest being just manifestations of it. Maybe it came here on a comet, inter- stellar traveler, a race of gi- ants on another dimension have a lawn toy connected to their hose, a kind of pin- wheel spraying comets across the universe, drops of rain bring- ing life to barren planets. Vonne- gut (I forget where-a little help?) an- swers the question What are peop- le for? in no uncertain terms: "To be the eyes, ears, tastebuds etc. of the Creator of the Universe, you fool!" It could be that the Creator is water, and the Apollo program was just a way for it to take a step back to enjoy a self-portrait--clouds, oceans, ice caps. Ah, Narcissus.  |
