Splash du Jour: Thursday

Imagine the terrestrial timespan as an outstretched arm: a single swipe of an emory-board, across the nail of the third finger, erases human history. We haven't been around for very long. And we've turned the earth's hair white.
-- Martin Amis, London Fields --

Have a great Thursday!

So this thought either makes us very insignificant , or super ultra important.

We are important in the sense that it is us that is contributing to the death of the planet. Cancer is but a small part of your life but in the end it can be "ultra important"
