About Us
Surface Earth, the expansion of humanity via the virtual earth.
Digging through the levels of each moment, seen and unseen, recognized or unacknowledged, this is a quest to move beyond the surface.
SurfaceEarth developed when we sought ways to help people or to help ourselves. To find ways to have people live beyond the surface of their days, to imagine a world where towns were not just boundaries drawn on a map, but an interwoven web where we take care of those that need help in a given moment, an exchange of services begins, we strengthen together, moving beyond, town by town, county by county, state by state, country by country, strengthening those along the way, until humanity is elevated.
We have not yet designed the full model for the interweave of this web, but through questioning and thinking out loud, we intend to get there and will enjoy having you along for the ride.
Peace & light.
P.S. I’m still trying to figure this one out: My favorite Chinese fortune cookie saying:
“Character is who you are when no one is watching.”
I’m still trying to figure out the connection with the Chinese word printed on the back:
Hao = Oyster

Hi There,
I really enjoy your blog. I have started a blog to help me on my own personal spiritual path. It would be great if we could add each other to our blogrolls. Thanks for considering.

Hello Frank. Thanks for stopping by. We took a look at your site, we weren’t sure what to expect at first with the word cynic, but surfed around and found many interesting thoughts and articles. We will be reading more on your site. In the meantime, we placed your blog under “expansive thought” for our links as we think there are readers who stop by on our site that would appreciate reading a different point of view.

Hi There,
Thanks for adding a link to my site. I have added yours to mine as well. Thanks also for your feedback. I have been struggling with the name a little as ‘…cynics…’ does sound well kind of cynical. My intention is to look at empirical observations in a critical way, but not to discount them because the don’t fall within the current dogmatic nature of accepted knowledge scientific and otherwise. The end result for me is far from cynical rather in awe and wonder of our shared experience.

Our pleaseure. Didn’t mean to jump on the word “cynic”, just wasn’t sure what I would encounter as to the postings, etc. I did come away with just the opposite, a viewpoint that is probing, questioning, examining, but filled with a thirst for new or expanded knowledge. We will be reading more, for certain. Thanks for linking us up, very kind of you.

Hello, again I follow a link from Sue Ann’s blog to here. and I as well saw an entry of yours in another tag I read so thought to connect
but as much as I wish there was time for me to read more now I must return later to do so. Is it pearls that are sometimes found in Oysters? or are they found in clams.
January 24, 2008 at 11:49 am
Tumel!!! Thank you for reminding me. For some reason the other night, that fortune cookie came to mind and like a flash I thought: it was so evident, “pearls”. Thanks!!! Please stop back! Namaste.

Wow!
“Character is who you are when no one is watching.”
I am spellbound and your blog is the best of the bests I ever have seen.
“Character is who you are when no one is watching.”
I am spellbound - the speechless.
That’s so indeed and literally, but not because I am leaving a comment here at a moment and look for the nice words. I really enjoy your blog and will put it to my blogroll - Thank you!

Just a thought on understanding your Chinese fortune . . . wisdom, though gained through life’s lessons, is sometimes more a feeling than an understanding. The truth of the proverb Fate sent to you is undeniable, but I don’t believe I could explain why no matter how many words I might use.
I adore the philosophy of your site and the beauty of both your pictures and words. I’ll see you around.

PS
The banner on my site is a sliver of a piece of clipart available to anyone that might come across it. Most of the picture held no meaning for me, but the portion you see on my site touched me. I can’t say why. My site has never been planned, so the banner was just one more piece that grew of its on volition.

Dear Miss Demure Restraint:
I like the way you phrased your reaction to the fortune cookie…”the truth of the proverb Fate sent to you is undeniable…”. I agree, the “truth” of it is quiet recognition.
Thanks so much for stopping in and the information on your header, I felt very drawn to the artistry.

One of the greatest things in this lifetime that gives me eternal hope is the fact that every day I find people who care about this world and the people in it, not only in words but in action. Since starting One World One Soul all I seem to be doing is finding blogs like yours and meeting people with BIG hearts… can’t help but feel warmth fill my soul and a smile crease my face. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! SF

I just added you on my blogroll! Excellent job.

Hey Bubble. Will jump over your way soon…………….Thank you and namaste!

the expansion of humanity via the virtual earth is the only way out for the locked under the heavy walls of the hospitals for the people with psychiatric disorders. The above sounds sadly but the wondrous flowers bloom there, yet art therapy fruits wither without sharing.
Sorry for pleading for the help. Could you water via the virtual earth “Modus Vivendi” by accepting art therapy blog http://trustlight.blogspot.com/ into your blogrol?

Tomas:
The thing about words is, they seek out the strongest and the weakest parts of us.
Part of our using words is to interpret our audience. What can a word mean, how does it impact, on someone who reads? Do we know, really, what lies behind the facade of our selves?
And so, I keep my words measured tightly, believing, that some can cause a trigger of pain for others. And even with that safeguarding, I know, my mastery of this thing called language is not enough to safeguard, to truly know, that unintentionally, I too will not use words that will let loose in ways unexpected.
As a canvas with the innocence it presents itself to the artist’s soul, so to is this, the canvas of the internet, if you will, where we all share in creation.
Peace Tomas. May God bless you.
