Culture, in all of its variety and expression, with all of its flavors and sounds and movement, was born out of the once untapped potential of this planet. For a ball of dust floating around a star, that’s pretty good. Then there’s society—the organization of people and customs into shared life. The resources buried under our feet have been gathered together to form towns and cities where people can communicate and cooperate and learn from one another. Human relationship is made possible and sustained by this planet. Amazing.
