- restricted to the earth. “a flightless earthbound bird”
- limited to material existence as distinct from a spiritual or heavenly one.
As human beings, we are physically limited to this earthly realm for a good reason. It is our home.
“To Earth” is both physical and spiritual – we anchor our feet into nature to make us “feel” better.
We live off “the land.” We “ground” ourselves.
So – why is there so much emphasis on Outer Space? That is not our realm. We, as physical beings, are NOT meant to travel up there.
Up There is a place that we can look at, study, admire, wonder about…but NEVER travel to. It is NOT our domain.
Just saying :o)
