Reflections on Theilard de Chardin: Somewhere Over The Rainbow

WARNING: This song is not going to leave your head. You thought It's A Small, Small World was bad? Not even close. This song has been in my head ever since someone who shall remain Quill-less posted it on her blog back on the 12th. Sorry, I'm just not Quilling to tell you who it was. All things being eQuill, it would be a breach of confidence of sorts.

Anyway, yeah. She posted it, I Googled it, got the lyrics and guitar chords to it and now I play it every single day. I can't take it anymore! You are all going down with me!!! Oh, you're going to listen to it. I know you are. That's a no-brainer. You can't resist. And when you do listen to it---heh, heh, heh---we will all have so much more in common, you and I.

Pierre Theilard de Chardin (if you don't know him, Google him) talks about the noosphere (nou-ou). Nous in Greek means mind. Chardin (Char-dan. Those French!) talks about the geosphere, the biosphere and then this third sphere wherein all human thought is connected. And if you THINK about it, being connected by the mind makes us friends and family. Sure, there are some dysfunctional cousins who will decapitate you because they think their nous is better than yours, but for the most part, folks are of a like nous and are friendlier than those types of misguided souls.

I appreciate a good nous. Everyone I've met here in blogland has an incredible, friendly nous. And I don't nous saying so.

So, if you don't nous, here is the song: (Remember to nous your manners and sing it in the shower until you are in voice.)
