Go Get Earthed
Earth as a
concept is full of meaning. As a word - it is even nice to say. It conjures both
homliness and vastness at the same time. It
is both a place of existence and way of existence. Go Get Earthed! Is the title of episode 9’s Reel Time withA J McMarson.
Terra also,
is a multi-talented word. It has Latin roots. As a prefix (word starter), it means:
'A rough upland or mountainous region of the moon or other solar system body
often having a high albedo relative to other surface features.'
'A rough upland or mountainous region of the moon or other solar system body
often having a high albedo relative to other surface features.'
Like WoW!!! Where has that word been all my life!
… Add that ‘space theme’ with the usual
understanding of terra (such as terra nulla, terra firma, terracotta – ie.
earthiness)… times it with an infinite imagination … subtract
logical paradigms … and what have you got?
Spirems that have an access point between Quanta and
Terra – without having to leave home – although there is that problem about
having to leave their clothes behind…
For those who have read the book you will know what I
mean … Hum. Well, I am, above all else, a practical person.
Terra also has another meaning:
'to
play hooky to complete an assignment that you procrastinated about and couldn't
finish.'
YOU LITTLE TERRA!
