WANNA  TRAVEL  TO  A  PARALLEL  UNIVERSE?  U  R  WELCOME  HERE !

Google Maps recently found a mysterious spiral in Egypt. It covers 1 million square feet. Speculation started immediately as to what it was. Some said it is a landing strip for Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) from outer space. Others were sure it was the gateway to a parallel universe. If only we could find the key to pen this gate and move to a better world !

It turns out it is a piece of environmental art installation done by three artists in March 1997. They called it “Desert Breath”. They meant it to celebrate the desert as “a state of mind, a landscape of the mind”.

Thank God for our fertile imagination and our irresistible continuous search for meaning in all that we see, hear and experience. If it were not for our imagination we would not have progressed so much in science and the knowledge of the world. The fruits of these are the comforts of modern life. If it were not for our search for meaning we would not have today the heights of theology and philosophy we have developed.

On the other hand, we have to be careful of where our imagination leads us, the meanings we see or give to things we experience. Imagination gone wild makes us foolish, and our theological and philosophical interpretations sometimes lead us to violence against one another.

May you see a gateway to heaven in all you experience today, and may you walk safe and warm on firm earth all through your life!
