The role of the Geosphere

Prologue: “Deep in the forest a man sitting on a large stone heard a voice. “Do you want to hear a story?” The man looked up, and wondered, because nobody was there. “Do you want to hear a story?” repeated the voice. Then the man realized that the voice was coming from the stone, where he was sitting on. “What are stories?” questioned the man. “Stories happened long time ago, my stories are like stars, they never fade away.” And then the stone narrated one story after another, until the sun reached the horizon. ”Enough for today, come tomorrow, and take with you the other people of your village.” The next day, they came, and again the stone narrated stories until sunset.” This are all my stories, remember them, and tell them to your children, so they can tell them to their children and so on.” So all stories of humankind came into being."

Qilian Shan, the big mountain range in China, is the perfect area for geological study.

The weather is very hot, nearly to 40 degree.

Don't wait

I received an email from my friend Hebin today, which is poem "Don't wait". I want to know who wrote it.

Don’t wait for a smile to be nice...

Don’t wait to be loved, to love.

Don’t wait to be lonely, to recognize the value of a friend.

Don’t wait for the best job, to begin to work.

Don’t wait to have a lot, to share a bit.

Don’t wait for the fall, to remember the advice

Don’t wait for pain, to believe in prayer.

Don’t wait to have time, to be able to serve.

Don’t wait for anybody else pain, to ask for apologies...

...neither separation to make it up.

Don’t wait...

Because you don't know how long it will take.
