Where? Where on earth?

Where? Well, where is here on earth somewhere! I came to realize there was really a little more to it than simply that we are some "where" here on the planet. Each of us born on this planet from the moment of conception when the egg in your mother was fertilized by a speedy little sperm from your father, from that very moment until the fetus is born it recapitulates the entire 3 1/2 billion year history of the planet. It's all recorded in the DNA in every cell. That's a duplication several trillions repeated. From this it could easily be noted that each of us is an Earth Person. The planet in all her glory is in us bones and blood, no matter who we are, what we might look like, our age, our profession, our race or family history. All of us are of this earth.

It also means that each of us is needed and wanted to be here and without us our earth would not be what it is now. You and I are each critical to the whole, the whole earth,and to the entire 6.something billion people here on earth. You are important. Great. Now just get on with it, make something of yourself here and make something of the great where that earth is. You simply cannot make a mistake. And the very things that you might choose to do could, indeed, make the entire difference!
