Tied to a string of sun,
the earth rebounds,
God plays with cup-and-ball,
every dawn is a new game.

I enjoyed this, Yann and its ambiguity - either a very interesting, though cynical view, that God is playing with our lives - or an interesting macrocosmic and humourous view of the earth and the sun from way out there in space.

Hi Owl, it was the second sense I had in mind but I am very glad you find the first one too...

I like the whimsy of this perspective. It had me thinking of one of those paddle games with the ball on an elastic string that rebounds to the paddle once whacked. The ball and cup image is right up there with it! I like the balance this piece restores to a sometimes over serious world view.

You have such a creative mind, dear Yann. I love this visually very effective perspective! Being God a master-player we can relax I guess!

Cute!

Love,

Thank you Lynda for your kind comment...You described perfectly the paddled game and I enjoyed this game many years ago....The Idea is that God play with the Earth a very subtle game of skill...
thank you for your interesting comment.
