NATURE'S MIRACLES: MOST MASSIVE TO THE MINUTE
"Elephant Imprint", Chester Zoo, England ABC News, September 19, 2012	"Sand Circle", Ocean Floor off Japan's Southern Coast Spoon & Tamago, September 18, 2012
Two sand sculptures in the web news today done by meticulous and amazing artists— so much more miraculous since these artworks were created without human hands. The first is a beautiful sand drawing of an elephant at England's Chester Zoo with folds in her ears & ridges in her trunk so precise than those done by Thai elephants. Dürer, Rembrandt, and Van Gogh were famous for self-portraits. Now add Sundara to the list— This eight-year-old Asian elephant made her imprint in just four hours while asleep. The second is a "mystery circle" found on the ocean floor off Japan's southern coast. Some say extra-terrestials made crop circles in wheat fields with laser-beam technology. Are intra-terrestials creating these circular pattern of rippling sand that's 80 feet below sea level and 6 feet wide? Is this some 24-ridge zodiac clock? Yoji Ookata went with a camera crew and was shocked to find a single puffer fish just a few inches long making the circles using only one fin. The tiny fish worked tirelessly day & night to complete the design. Female fishes were enticed to these sand ridges and valleys for mating at the center so their eggs are shielded from ocean currents. Mystery solved but more miracles open— From massive planets orbiting the stars to the tiniest electrons around atoms, this grand design— as above so below. Was this universe made effortlessly or with great toil? Did we not make our dream world spontaneously at night and wake up afresh to a new day after our sleep?         — Peter Y.
