The life span of life

Overtime, we grow older. Our lives grow on, we get old, and our eventually we die. We pass on, but the earth still stays. Life still breathes.

What if the life span of life had a greater purpose? Just as we get wiser over time, life has. It's gone back and forth with growing pains, it's highs and lows, but it's growing just the same as we are.

Maybe life itself has a purpose--beyond the humans and the animals. Life has lived on for a long time. But let me clarify life.

I mean the cycle of life--vegetation, earth, the universe. I am calling all of that (the beginning of time) the beginning of life (whether scientifically accurate or not).

I mean, it would be interesting to think that we are part of a bigger scheme--the theatre of life's cycle. Maybe at the end of time, and the end of our time, God will let the earth speak, and we will learn, and know and feel everything that it's felt.

What if, although we think that we're training the animals, and we're coaching the cattle, and the trees and all living things to grow bigger and better, in the end, God opens their mouths and we hear, for the first time, what life is really like for them. What they've seen and heard and felt. Would we have felt guilty for our woes, and learned more from listening to them?

I wonder, too, what the earth would have said if God gave it a voice when he first made it. Would it be able to talk? Would it because excited to experience the life, or would it be scared? How would it's reaction change after it? If we could hear the earth speak throughout all times of history, what would it say? Would it have grown bored of life? Bored of people, of holding animals, and insects?

I'd like to know, too, if earth is immortal. How long will it live? How long will the life on it live? Will the animals be gone when the people are gone? Could the earth live on happily without life living on it. If the universe were to end, how would that be?

I guess I'll never know.
