Life Is Fragile

Remember our first view of the earth from the moon? See NASA's site, visible earth. The "blue marble" image stimulated the environmental movement, emphasizing the fragility of life on earth.

To compare incomparables, I had a reminder yesterday that life is fragile--screwing up my back while getting out of the car. :-) Now I'm gimping around the house, my routine disrupted, fussing at the cats, dependent on my better half. (I hate being dependent.) The good news is, behind the scenes in my lower back the damage is being repaired. Thank you, body. The bad news is, my body gets older and slower at repairs every day.
