Butte La Rose

Bonjour!
Stairway to heaven? Can we go any further beyond our galaxies? Is Pluto the farthest and last planet in our universe that we are to reach? Is that the stair way to heaven that has been sung about all these centuries? Is this where God waits for us? Is this where it’ll all end?
Oh, no, it will not end there, because eternity is forever! So many songs. God gave man the intelligence and wisdom and imaginary curiosity to want to learn more and explore and physically travel the skies. And while exploring the universe and heavens with their dramatic intelligent minds, to reach where we will live our eternal life into infinity. Was this to prepare us?
But since half way through my life we’ve learned of the many more little planets even smaller then ours still yet to be discovered in the skies that also have their own moons like we do and every planet has their own heaven and space. Just hanging in the air. Is all of this written in the Bible?
But please don’t answer my question because my mind could not absorb the answer. I have a problem trying to digest this big picture that I am talking about. What I recall learning in first grade was number one through 10, the alphabets, see dog run – little words like that. Now the kids in pre-K use computers. Intelligent minds before birth!
Being truthful, next to God’s creation of the human body, the universe is the most fascinating with vast revelations if you try to figure it out. It’s like having a big beautiful delicious rounded platter of crawfish etouffee but don’t know where to begin eating it because as you turn it round and round, where should the first bite be taken? Like everything else it is said the best is kept for last. We’ve come a long way from the horse-and-buggy days. Like Justin Wilson would say, I guarantee you!
From the beginning of time, the sun was the sun, the moon was the moon, and the stars were the stars. Now with telescopes they find other planets, stars and moons all being explored and touched, if only by remote control, by human beings.
So what will be next? We’d gaze at the stars on moonless nights. But it was not moonless. It was traveling around the earth having its back to us. But the stars were plentiful. And starring at the stars long enough they’d twinkle. But they can’t twinkle, they do not move. There were a few stars shaped in clusters to look for among the stars.
In ancient times people thought the earth was flat. What else could we think? Like one song is written, “don’t let the stars get in your eyes, don’t let the moon break your heart, in day light it dies!” Because we thought those were the only stars and they were ours only.
This is all amazing! The most interesting! And no one can claim this as theirs. Belongs to us all. Like the Big Dipper in the mass constellation. Now we’ve learned there are billions up there. And all hover around their own moons and planets because of an endless universe or bottomless pit.
Or is it? Let us not forget the Farmers Almanac! Even now with all the weatherman’s gadgets to measure the weather, the almanac’s predictions are more accurate.
Someone accidentally came across a burial site with a tomb while digging in the ground in our area. The site might date back to the late 1700s. Remember that yours and my ancestors having been exiled from Nova Scotia during that time and many having settled here. More to come...
