Keeping The Fayth

Here at KeepingTheFayth, we celebrate different lights to warm the soul and encourage everyone to bring their goodness every minute, hour and day. The coming storm of over saturated nonsense was sensed by us, but as we worked the whole of last year for a celebrity -- it was a bit hard to ring the bell. Hell, these days what are the chances anyone would hear over the whir of stunningly saran-wrapping mediocrity? History doth protest, and the internet will remember so kudos to John Mayer for howling back at the madness in concise and moving form.

We were spoken to by name through a television. We were promised we could be anything that we wanted to be, if only we believed it and then, faster than we saw coming, we were set loose into the world to shake hands with the millions of other people…

The Hubble Space Telescope has discovered the first organic molecule on a planet that's not in our solar system. According to NASA, this breakthrough could be a major step toward discovering life on other planets. Scientists believe that the organic compound detected, methane, can be an integral part in the chemical reactions considered necessary to form life as we know it.

But she said researchers comparing them with figurines found at the site realised they seemed to have been worn as a metal bra. -Scotsman.com, Uplifting evidence for Viking lingerie range

As you can see from the historical image, it just makes sense that it was a bra. Ah, History and What We Think We Know! So excited to see history properly remapped.

I see it much like the change from the world being flat, to round to globe. As our understanding changes, we recognize it as "discovery". Really, it's just the addition of new minds asking different questions and providing new answers.

If you ask me.
