Its not about "saving the planet";...its about saving ourselves!

 

"If we destroy Creation, Creation will destroy us!"
--Pope Francis:

As Naomi Klein wrote in The Nation: "Climate change demands we consume less, but being consumers is all we know" — all every capitalist knows. We all consume.We are all capitalists. And we will not change in time to save the planet, save us from ourselves. Because when humans finally awaken from our collective trance capitalism trance, it will be too late. The war has already been won by capitalism. Climate lost.

lesson in parenting

After a forest fire in Yellowstone National Park, forest rangers began their trek up a mountain to assess the inferno's damage. One ranger found a bird literally petrified in ashes, perched statuesquely on the ground at the base of a tree. Somewhat sickened by the eerie sight, he knocked over the bird with a stick. When he gently struck it, three tiny chicks scurried from under their dead mother's wings. The loving mother, keenly aware of impending disaster, had carried her offspring to the base of the tree and had gathered them under her wings, instinctively knowing that the toxic smoke would rise. She could have flown to safety but had refused to abandon her babies. Then the blaze had arrived and the heat had scorched her small body, the mother had remained steadfast....because she had been willing to die, so those under the cover of her wings would live.'

"He will cover you with His feathers, And under His wings you will find refuge.’ (Psalm 91:4)

Cat adopts and nurses ducklings:

Sometimes the maternal instinct is so strong that animal mothers take care of little animals from different species. This amazing cat takes care of both kittens and some ducklings.
She treats them as equal and they are getting proper attention. It seems that they like their new mother too.

"In a tree house" by Hafiz

Light

will someday split you open

even if your life is now a cage,

For a divine seed, the crown of destiny,

is hidden and sown on an ancient, fertile plain

that you hold the title to.

Love will surely bust you wide open

into an unfettered, blooming new galaxy

A life-giving radiance will come,

O look again within yourself,

For I know you were once the elegant host

To all the marvels in creation. 

From a sacred crevice in your body,

a bow rises each night

and shoots your soul into God.

Behold the Beautiful One

from the vantage point of Love.

He is conducting the affairs

of the whole universe

in a tree house – on a limb

in your heart.

Some Words of Wisdom

To know is nothing at all; to imagine is everything.~ Albert Einstein 

protection is active.

maximum diameter of universe

relativity of motion :

Interestingly, from an external frame of reference, 0 is stationary.
But from the point of view of either A or B, 0 is receding from them at the speed of light!
And A and B are separating (i.e. the space/distance between A and B is expanding/increasing)at twice the speed of light!
So motion is relative to one's observational frame of reference.

If O is tbe point of origin of the universe and the maximum velocity of the Big Bang wave front was "c" (assuming that the wave front generated by the Big Bang propogated outward in all directions at the maximum allowable speed) ,
then A and B represent the outer boundaries of an expanding sphere.
The distance between A and B is the diameter of the universe wch is expanding at a maximal velocity of 600,000 km/second.
Accepting that the universe is 13.7 billion years old(13.7 billion years to zero time) we can calculate the number of seconds in 13.7 billion years =X seconds*.
Since the diameter of the universe is expanding at 600,000km each second,
the present diameter of the universe is:  600,000km x X seconds* =
13.
7 billion years x 31,536,000 s/ year =  13.7 x 10^9 years x 31,536 x10^3 s/year=  4,320,43.2 x10^12 seconds

6x10^5km/s x 4,320,432 x10^11s = 25,922,592 x 10^16 km = 2.6 x 10^23 km

*How many seconds in a year:
60 s/minute
60 minutes/ hr
3600 s/hour
24 hr/day
86400s/day
365 days/ year
31,536,000 s/ year

*************************************** 
In one year light travels 9.5 x10^12 km
In 13.7 x 10^9 years it will have travelled  130.15 x 10^21 km =1.3 x 10^23 km

radius of universe = 1.3 x 10^23 km 
diameter = 2.6 x 10^23 km

*****/*******************************

V=d/t. (velocity =distance/time )
v=c= maximum allowable velocity of expansion.
d= distance from point of origin to outer edge or boundary = radius of universe
t= 13.7 billion years(time from t=0 to now)

d=vt
v= c=9.5x 10^12 km/year
d=9.5x 10^12 km/year X 13.7 x10^9years =130 x10^21 km =1.3 x 10^23 km (this is the radius from center to outer edge, and the maximum distance light has travelled in 13.7 billion years)
Hence diameter = 2r= 2.6 x 10^23 km
