The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave;
To the dark and the endless skies
Roberta Flack, The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

God, how we get our fingers in each other's clay. That's friendship, each playing the potter to see what shapes we can make of each other.
Ray Bradbury, Something Wicked This Way Comes

The father hesitated only a moment. He felt the vague pain in his chest. If I run, he thought, what will happen? Is Death important? No. Everything that happens before Death is what counts. And we've done fine tonight. Even Death can't spoil it.
Ray Bradbury, Something Wicked This Way Comes

Dying was nothing and he had no picture of it nor fear of it in his mind. But living was a field of grain blowing in the wind on the side of a hill. Living was a hawk in the sky. Living was an earthen jar of water in the dust of the threshing with the grain flailed out and the chaff blowing. Living was a horse between your legs and a carbine under one leg and a hill and a valley and a stream with trees along it and the far side of the valley and the hills beyond.
Ernest Hemingway, For Whom the Bell Tolls

The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face, Roberta Flack

John, the environment below seems very intriguing, interesting and inviting to descend, but I prefer to stay where I am now. Then I can continue to enjoy the 'bird's eye view' and not throw myself into unexpected adventures, meanwhile taking you quotes for granted, ☺ . Well done, inclusive a proper music video choice!

Nice image John. The whole place looks like an otherworldly cityscape and a horrifying tornado in the distance. So they have tornados in those places too.

Apparently, John, the tornados on your petroleum planet are so strong they act like water spouts, except in this case it's an oil spout we're seeing, with such strength as to tear machinery apart and lay waste to the land. Only on Jupiter's moon, Io, have I seen such planetary turmoil.

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.

Outstanding work and does look like I'm looking down from a high vantage point over the land and flowing river - Bravo
