Quest Of The Eternal

This afternoon humanity begins a new era of manned spaceflight. The joint SpaceX-NASA launch of Crew Dragon realizes our highest ideals, hopes and dreams as a Nation and embodies mankind’s quest to understand the eternal.

Later in the day I make time for an outing into nature looking to meld intellectual with aesthetic perspectives of the day’s events. I ponder the vastness of the universe with inward eye informed by the essence of earthly realms. Nearby woodlands make ephemeral pools available for said pursuits. They divulge desired creative insight as I contemplate their collections of primordial stardust awash in endless days of raindrops. My heart finds joy in rhythms of the wild while mind comes to know eternity.
