TheBanyanTree: Our Winter Doth Rapidly Approach

[redclay]

Brief Report from a Space Traveler:


In Space a spinning mass of superheated, 
hotter-than-the-surface-of-the-sun, iron & nickel, encased in melted and 
solid rock, painted on its outer surface with continents and oceans, is 
presently traveling in a long loop around its power source, a small star.

I presently am hitching a ride on that same mass and, thanks in no small 
part to that faithful power source, and am doing well enough that I am 
able to put these curved symbols in a short row.  With some good fortune 
these curved symbols will evoke similar images in other sentient beings.

How did I get here?  Well, the details are a little messy and at times 
would prove hard to believe if I were to go into things deeply, but 
needless to say, the circumstances behind my arrival here are not unique. 

I am at the point on this journey that the spinning orb is presently on 
the side of its power source that has it receiving the least amount of 
energy on the part of it that I reside.   Combined with the reduced 
strength of exposure is a shorter overall exposure to our power source 
as well, with the shortest, weakest exposure on the journey about to 
occur very soon. 

As the journey continues no sooner does the exposure to our source of 
power wane than it almost immediately begins to wax again.  It is, after 
all,  a loop.

At present I have made 56 loops. 

I'd like to make many more.
