| If the Earth
were only a few feet in diameter,
floating a few feet above a field somewhere,
people would come from everywhere to marvel
at it. People would walk around it, marvelling at its
big pools of water, its little pools and the water flowing
between the pools. People would marvel at the bumps on
it, and the holes in it, and they would marvel at the very thin
layer of gas surrounding it and the water suspended in 'the gas.
The people would marvel at all the creatures walking around
the surface of the ball, and at the creatures in the water. The
people would declare it as sacred because it was the only one,
and they would protect it so that it would not be hurt. The
ball would be the greatest wonder known, and people would
come to pray to it, to be healed, to gain knowledge, to know
beauty and to wonder how it could be. People would
love it, and defend it with their lives because they
would somehow know that their lives, their own
roundness, could be nothing without it. If
the Earth were only a few feet in
diameter.
