Day 9,798

I started up with much ease at 8:30 AM. I provided sustenance to my companion animals, tended to my decorative Earth vegetation, cleansed my vessel, and consumed sustenance. 

An earthling comrade joined my Earth mother and I in visiting one of my favorite locations, Yellow Springs, Ohio. I much enjoy the art and colors of this place. 

We visited many stores filled with humorous objects. I purchased some arm decorations, a finger decoration, and an instrument called a “rain maker,” which is said to bring upon rain when played. I shall flood Earth. 

At a toy store, I placed my hand in a dinosaur puppet and battled another earthling doing the same. I won. He was an adorable earthling, who I caught glimpses of at other stores throughout the day. He was also speaking to himself, and I wished I could join the conversation. 

 

Finally, we visited a sustenance consumption establishment which served sustenance from the Middle of East. My first encounter with earthlings was in the Middle of East, as that was where I landed into my Earth vessel. The sustenance from this establishment gives me a pleasant feeling of nostalgia.

 

Our sustenance tanks were very full during our travel back to our habitats, and I was battling nausea. I accidentally released gas from my vocal projector, and experienced much shame.

Today was a day of much exploration. Yellow Springs has many people who have seemingly less inhibitions. I have observed that earthlings are more happy, when they accept and are accepted. The earthlings of the current location in which I reside, I have observed, are seemingly less accepting of strangeness. Which I think is strange, as they are strange to me. I am sure that I am strange to them as well, but I do not see the need for hostility against that which is different. I have read that earthlings are afraid of that which they do not understand, or the unknown. Hence giving meaning to the earthling phrase, “Knowledge is power.” Perhaps, knowledge is also courage and kindness, and the courage to be kind. Knowledge is also acceptance, understanding, and unity in diversity.

But as I have also learned, as I drove my land vessel in the dark to my place of employment one morning until I suddenly realized that it was no longer dark, is that even after approximately 12 hours of darkness, it only takes approximately 30 minutes for light to fill the world. Hopefully, light fills this world, quickly.
