"Right now, it is raining methane on Titan. The planet Uranus, apparently trying to live up to its name, is orbiting the sun sideways, while Venus spins backwards. There are stars exploding, black holes gorging, galaxies colliding.
And here we sit, on
a planet pock-marked by collisions, rocked by earthquakes, shaken by storms. A planet
doomed to be fried in radiation as its magnetic fields collapse, until finally the sun
grows into a red giant and leaves nothing of the Earth but dust. Here we sit, glasses
on our noses, inhalers in our pockets, braces on our teeth, waiting to die as our heart
muscle expires, our cells decide to grow forever, or a blood vessel
just pops, and
sometimes in unnatural ways, too.
Here we sit, and some of us say, behold, look at the order of it all."

Mark! Uranus is currently transiting Taurus and explains(in my mind) the recent tonga eruption. More Earth changes to come! Love that you have a blog!!!
Wishing you well! Carol Howe from Alfred
