You have never seen your own face.
This may surprise you and you may say it isnt sobut it is so.
You may see the end of your nose.
You may even see your lips if you pout outso.
If you stick out your tongue you may see the tip of it.
But you cant go over there, outside of yourself, and look at your own face.
Of course you know what your face looks like, because you have seen it in a mirror; but thats not yourselfits only a picture of yourself.
And in the same way no one of us can see our own Worldall of itthis World on which we live.
You can see a little bit of the World just around youand if you go up into a high building you can see still moreand if you go up to the top of a high mountain you can see still, still moreand if you go up in an airplane you can see still, still, still more.
But to see the Whole World you would have to go much higher than that, higher than any one has ever been able to go or could go. You would have to go far, far above the clouds; way, way off in the sky where the stars areand no one can do that, even in an airplane.
Now you cannot see the World in a mirror as you can see your face. So how do we know what the World looks like?
A fish in the sea might tell her little fish, The World is all waterjust a tub; Ive been everywhere and I know. Of course, she wouldnt know anything different.
A camel in the desert might tell her little camels, The World is all sandjust a sand pile; Ive been everywhere and I know.
A polar bear on an iceberg might tell her little polar bears, The World is all snow and icejust a refrigerator; Ive been everywhere and I know.
A bear in the woods might tell her little bear cubs, The World is all woodsjust a forest; Ive been everywhere and I know.
In the same way, once upon a time, people used to tell their little children, The World is just a big island like a huge mud pie with some water, some sand, some ice, and some trees on it, and with a cover we call the sky over us all; weve been everywhere and we know.
When some inquisitive child asked, What does the flat World like a mud pie rest on? they really truly said, It rests on the backs of four elephants.
But when the inquisitive child asked, And what do the elephants stand on? they really truly said, On a big turtle.
Then when the inquisitive child asked, What does the turtle stand on? no one could sayfor no one could even guess farther than thatso the turtle was left standingon nothing.
Thats the old story that parents long ago used to tell their children as to what the World was like. But just suppose you could go way, way off above the clouds; way, way off in the sky, sit on a corner of nothing at all, dangle your feet over the edge and look down at the World far, far below. What do you suppose it would really look like? I knowand yet I have never been there.
The World from way off in the sky and through a spy-glass would look just like a full moonround and white; not round like a plate, but round like a huge snowball. Not exactly white, either, but brightfor the sun shines on this big ball, the World, and makes it light just as the headlight on an automobile shines on the road at night and makes the road light. Of course, the sun can shine on only one side of this big ball at a time; the other side of the World is dark, but the World keeps turning round and round in the sunlight.
