@ Rebreather:

@ SMY!
..I think I can see my house!!
TR, when my DD was in elementary school she came home singing a song called "The Little Blue Top" (don't know if you've heard it, it was new to me when she started singing it), all about this earth we're all riding on. Here are the lyrics, it seems appropriate, hope you don't mind...
The Little Blue Top
(Tony Hughes)
CHORUS
Round & round goes the little blue top
Whirling and turning with never a stop
Dappled with white, dappled with brown
The little blue top keeps a-turning around
Oh there's wild raging oceans and proud mountain chains
Green, peaceful valleys and wide grassy plains
Families of life that each setting contains
Dolphins and spiders and cattle and cranes
And there's red folk & white folk & yellow folk too
Black folk & brown folk to name just a few
Folks green with envy and others who're blue
Oh there's teachers & lawyers & medicine men
Places to go to & people who've been
Others who stay home & tend to the shop
And they whirl & turn on the little blue top
But there're some who are greedy & some who don't care
And they're fouling our rivers & poisoning our air
If all of the rest of us don't make them stop
They might end the life on the little blue top
