The Return of the Goddess: Ceres and Consciousness
"Our place in the cosmos is rare and sweet. We live on Planet Earth, the third rock from the sun, where life is supported, flowers blossom and birds sing. We define our position and our gratitude for it, by examining the nature of our celestial neighbors. We have models of our cosmos that hang as mobiles from classroom ceilings. And we know why life exists here, and not there.
Since kindergarten we've chanted: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. Being raised in Africa, we had a culturally specific pneumonic to help us remember the order of the planets. For the life of me I can't remember it now, but it had something to do with eating.
Last September our scientists decided to revamp our current cosmology. They demoted poor old Pluto. He's spent way too long hanging out at the black hole that is our galactic center and as such, has almost disappeared. And they also added Ceres. The Goddess. She's a dwarf planet, not too big in stature but she's included. "
