Eyes looking skyward

Symphony’s rhythm

Galaxy sparkles

Night’s algorithm

 

Trying to focus

Heavens lighting up

Fascination calls

Universe close-up

 

Each night different

Constellations speak

Billions of voices

Infinite mystique

 

Chasing one starship

Courageous and bold

Man’s final frontier

Destiny unfolds

 

Distant cosmos soars

Beyond any star

Hyperspace journey

Dreams traveling far

 

Beyond today’s world

Young boy’s mind takes flight

Ancient comets glow

Rivers filled with light

A young lad dreams of space travel as he enters grade school in the early 1960s.  Images of astronauts and space capsules begin an adventure.  Building models of the Apollo spacecraft tags along with “Star Trek” and more.  As a mature adult, the journey continues.

Never measure the height of a mountain until you have reached the top.  Then you will see how long it was.

We are not permitted to choose the frame of our destiny.  But what we put into it is ours.

Dag Hammarskjold (1905-1961) was a Swedish economist and diplomat.  He served as the second Secretary-General of the United Nations (1953-1961).

Beneath ocean’s depths

Hearing whispers of hope

God’s mercy always reigns

Transforming life’s scope

 

Atop mountain peaks

Echoing faith sings out

God’s righteousness descends

Removing all doubt

 

Across each valley

Lasting hymns, filled with pride

God’s nurturing love acts

Sending grace, Son guides

 

Throughout darkest world

Navigating light now leads

Christ’s faithful message calms

Healing’s peace proceeds

 

From Calvary’s cross

Searching for sheep, now lost

Good Shepherd never fails

Paying every cost

From Hebrews 13:20-21:  “Now may the God of peace, who brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant, make you complete in everything good so that you may do His will, as He works among us that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever.  Amen.”

We carry the seeds of happiness with us wherever we go.

The greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions, and not upon our circumstances.

Martha Washington (1731-1802) was American’s first lady when her husband, George Washington served as the nation’s first President.  She proved to be a worthy partner with her husband, as she frequently remained at the front lines during the American Revolutionary War and also managed his affairs at home while he served as Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army.
