Earthrise (included in Alan Grayson's latest email)

"In a highway service station
Over the month of June
Was a photograph of the Earth
Taken coming back, from the Moon.
And you couldn't see a city
On that marbled bowling ball
Or a forest
Or a highway
Or me here, least of all."

Joni Mitchell, "Refuge of the Roads" (1976)
