This is a screenshot of my desktop. It is a shot of the Earth as it is right now, as the sun is rising on the new year of 2008 West of where I live and people in Eastern Europe and African are just starting to celebrate the new year.
I love this desktop. I never tire of watching the earth rotate, the clouds change and night change to day. There is something that strangely meditative, mystical even, watching it progress through the day. Knowing that as the sun is setting here, it is rising on people in India, China and Siberia just, somehow, makes me feel a part of it all.
So happy New Year to all of you who are part of this circling globe! I hope it's a better one for everyone and the globe we are on.
Here are two short videos to show/remind you of how truly amazing this home is:
