The Earth's Tilt

Written by Tayria Ward on March 2, 2010

The news last night reported that with the earthquake in Chile the earth’s tilt shifted. Talk about change! Brian Williams says that earth science has a long way to go understanding this, but with that tilt a fraction of a second of the day was lost. Time changed. Earth changed. I wonder if we can phanthom what all this change means, how it will manifest. If a butterfly’s wing on the other side of the world can cause a tidal wave over here, what will a change in earth’s tilt do? At least I feel a little less crazy. Yesterday the contemplations I was writing about regarding change and stillness were big in me. We must all feel the tilt in some way. My sense is that this is big.
