The question is: Would we?

To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose.

The Earth spins at a thousand miles an hour as we desperately

try to keep from being thrown off. Like the first blush in winter

that signals a great migration. Is there any warning of their

arrival? A sign or a single event that set this chain into motion?

Was it a whisper in God's ear? Survive. Adapt. Escape.

And if we could mark our single moment in time, that first hint of a

prophecy of approaching danger... would we have done

anything differently? Could it have been stopped? Or was the die

long ago cast? And if we could go back, alter its course, stop it

from happening... would we?
