Glorious Sun Shine Down on Me

       The rays of sun touch every square inch of this planet.  They touch every living thing (except those funky looking sea creatures at the bottom of ocean and the mold growing in my refrigerator on that 2 week old burrito) on this earth.  In addition every creature, fungus and bacteria depends upon our closet star we call the sun.  (When I speak of fungus I am referring to the mushroom variety not the political.)  We have recently had a run on sunny days and the solar has been cranking out the BTU's.  What is it about the sun????  People have worshiped it for eons and one could make the point that as humans gained more knowledge about our solar system, the sun was no longer a mysterious thing, so humans created "god" to replace what they could not explain.  What is that common thread that connects all living things, and what does simple living have to do with that thread?

      My family has recently started to weave.  Weaving involves a very long thread intertwined with other very long threads.  Everyone know what happens when you loose control of a very long thread.  At least when I do I end up with a big knot.  There is no problem with a long thread as long as you keep it away from itself.  You could lay out a mile long thread and never get a knot as long as it never doubles back on itself.  So, if everything on the planet is connected by a common thread, then what happens when something along that thread decides to gather more.

     We humans only comprise a very small segment of this thread (compare our numbers to the variety of plants or insects on the earth) and we have only been a part of this thread for a very short period of time, but we seem to be bunching up this thread and taking more than our share.  We have essentially created one huge, nasty and tangled knot.  Now for the sticky part.

What happens when you cannot get the knot undone????

You get the scissors and cut it out.

Guess who owns this thread.......

I don't know the answer.  Some say Gaia, Allah, God, Great Spirit, Gods, Aliens, Dolphins, or no one.  But, I can be sure that it is probably not the humans.

Namaste

More house data soon.  We are on target to use only one cord of wood.
