Yesterday I went to the movies with my partner and we watched – The Space Between Us.
This is a beautiful movie, so if you haven’t been to watch it yet, highly recommend it.
I won’t tell you much about the movie, don’t want to spoil it for you…
The main character, Gardner, asks several people this question:
What is your favourite thing about Earth?
What a powerful question, I thought and I kept wondering what is my favourite thing about Earth.
I don’t have a single favourite thing about Earth, though I have many.
These are my favourite things about Earth:
- Knowledge and wisdom, we are blessed that for millenia we have been able to capture valuable information about our planet and us as a race and these data will be passed to generations to come.
- Fauna and flora, I have always loved nature, we are truly blessed to have the ecosystems we have, the plants and animals and the means to learn from it.
- Variety, the older I get and the more I travel I feel humbled and in awe at the variety in our cultures and traditions; it is so beautiful to know that even though we are all humans we still have to much to learn from one another AND we keep enriching each others lives.
- Our curiosity, us human beings are so curious and we do whatever it takes to understand what is around us to improve our quality of life.
- Our resilience, there is no denying that we are resilient beings and it doesn’t matter what comes our way we come back stronger and more prepared for what is next.
- The ability to express our emotions, to me this is one of the mos beautiful things we can do on Earth, tell others what our feelings are.
- Life, I love witnessing and experiencing what it is like to be alive and celebrate others lives. It gives me great joy and satisfaction.
I could go on and on, as it is a great experience to enjoy what we have, we are truly blessed to live in an era where we can be and enjoy life.
It is a true blessing knowing that we can express our thoughts and concerns and joy and share with the world what we love about our communities, societies and our planet as a whole.
I am curious:
What is your favourite thing about Earth?
See you soon,
