For you to be born here on Earth required a series of one in a million chances. There never has been, and never will be, another human with your DNA on Earth. You and Earth have a unique relationship. In addition to beauty, Earth is a tremendously resilient complex system. Earth finds balance. Every life form here has found a niche that works, that lives. It's nice to think that, no matter what humans do, we can't destroy Earth. We could certainly ruin Earth for humans. But life will go on here. How amazing it would be if Earth were the only planet with life in the entire universe. And also how amazing if there were other planets out there, supporting life. A planet of different biomes, different species, also in balance, out there among the stars. As interesting as that planet would be to us, Earth is, too. Earth is such an interesting place to visit! I love our planet!
