Singing With The Rain

I believe in general in a dualism between facts and the idea of those facts in the human head.

Hello Alpine, Arizona. A joyful day to you.
***********************
H: What are you doing out there?

I: Sitting.

H: Can't you see it's raining?

I: Yes

H: Well come inside out of the rain.

I: No.

H: Why not?

I: I'm relaxing.

H: Oh, you're relaxing are you? In the purring rain?

I: Yes.

H; You're going to get wet.

I: Oh I hope so.

H: You want to get soaking wet?

I: Yes.

H: Why?

I: I like the rain.

H: Oh so you're going to sit there until you're soaking wet and then when you come inside where the air conditioner is on you'll catch your death of cold.

I: I'm not coming inside.

H: Why not?

I: I like the rain.

H: I think you're crazy.

I: The rain is a great blanket of beauty, a gift to the earth from the sky. It cleanses the air, it baptizes the ground and awakens the seeds of life within it. It makes a gentle drumming sound on everything it touches.

Each rain drop is like a word, a thought from nature, an idea spread around with other ideas to make a storm of thinking. It writes its poetry on every leaf and blade of grass. It lends its wisdom to my head and mingles itself with my hair and with my heart. And when I tilt my head back it washes my face with joy and energy. It brings remembrances to mind.

It is the music of echoes, of patience and the song of the earth. It lifts up as it lays down, it refreshes the mind as it stirs up the dirt.

When I hold out my hand I change the destiny of a rain drop. I am in the rain, I am at one with the rain, I am the rain.

H: I think you're crazy.

I: I am crazy. I love the rain.

SPRING QUESTION
(This is not a contest)

NASA has planned to send a two man mission on an 18 month trip to the planet Mars. It would take 6 months for the astronauts to get there and after 6 months of exploration another 6 months to return.

Should they do it and why, and if not, why not?
