The Earth isn't an infinite sheet that carries on for ever, but it doesn't have an edge, either. It's compact and connected.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
About the 50th hour, I was going to start thinking about the edge of the universe. Is there an edge? Is this an envelope we're living inside of, or no, does it go onto infinity in both time and space? And there's nothing like swimming for 50 hours in the ocean that gets you thinking about things like this.
Let us not depreciate Earth. There is no atom in it but is alive and astir in the all-penetrating splendor of God. From the infinitesimal to the infinite, everything is striving to express the thought of His Presence with which it overflows.
Man, a mere inhabitant of the earth, cannot overstep its boundaries! But though he is confined to its crust, he may penetrate into all its secrets.
The earth has a life of its own.
I demonstrate by means of philosophy that the earth is round, and is inhabited on all sides; that it is insignificantly small, and is borne through the stars.
A boundary is really something artificial we made up. The ecosystem and landscape continue.
There's another world out there just beyond the world we're in. It's just on the other side of that translucent, semitransparent surface.
I'm convinced we all have a God-shaped space in us, and until we fill that space with God, we'll never know what it is to be whole.
The earth also is spherical, since it presses upon its center from every direction.
Nature is an infinite sphere of which the center is everywhere and the circumference nowhere.
