No Dark

Has anyone ever noticed that there is no such thing as "a dark." If there was, we could say,
"Can someone turn on the dark?" or
"Here, use my dark." or
"Let me borrow your dark."

No, there is no such thing as a dark--because we don't need one. Life is naturally dark and we spend our whole lives trying to get light. Sometimes our attempts at light only intensify our darkness.

The good news is that the nature of light is to consume darkness. When a door opens from a light room to a dark closet, the dark does not fall out of the closet, but the light falls into the darkness.

More About Mt. St. Helens

I had so much trouble with the photos, I forgot what I wanted to say about Mt. St. Helens. Jessica told me--she's taking geology right now--that if the dome in St. Helens continues to grow at it's present rate, in 50 years it will be the same height as it was in 1980 when it blew. My calculations say I will be 110 years old--well probably not. What about you?

By the way--

If anyone would like to offer advice on what I might be doing wrong on pictures, I'll be glad to hear.

Mt. St. Helens and The Grand Canyon




Two of the most amazing sites I have ever seen are the hole in Mt. St. Helens--70 stories deep and The Grand Canyon. Two amazing things now.




Mt. St. Helens--well, if the photo spot is blank, try this link: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=portland,or&ll=46.200943,-122.188997&spn=0.086346,0.126686&t=k&hl=en


And The Grand Canyon--Now would you walk out 0n this? I wouldn't. I can see everything just fine by sitting on a rock. And since the photo didn't copy, try this link:
