The First Morning















There are so many things that I wish I could understand, like what particle accelerators are and what a neutrino is. My son Joshua has been telling me that they now have obseved particles that move faster than the speed of light. My head is exploding!

So... we sort of know that Time has no beginning or end. Yet I'm human and think as a human, with carefully measured parameters that mark time and space. And matter... especially Matter. I understand that everything in this Universe, is made of matter- of energy. Simply molecules and atoms arranged in different patterns. The Earth and everything on it is here, it's tangible- but there was a time when it wasn't here, and that time was so long ago that it defies the imagination.




There once was a first morning, after the fiery mass that would be called Earth settled and cooled, there was a land ready to give life. Every moment there was sunrise as the globe groaned through Space and no one saw it.


The second photo was taken with a flash- I kind of like the way it appears to be the sunrise!
