The Glimpse Would you take the grand step ‘cross the sky to stars whose sparkles beckon and sever the umbilical cord of gravity, be awed by planetary majesty, embrace God’s endless silvern tapestry and escape Earth’s pull each second? Then step on soil of a distant star, first footprint at Heaven’s gate. For centuries, you pointed to journey there to catch that glimpse of God so rare. Now your arrow, man made of tensiled gear, is a star leaping Ark of Faith. And tho’ you’re a faint echo of a tiny whisper in the thunder of Time called Man; a trembling leaf on an outstretched branch, a blade of grass on dry land, a corner patch on some crazy quilt where good and evil reign. But greatest wonder, your relentless search to jump the stars in a single lurch, to sit on God’s cosmic perch and view the Earth again! Namyh |

Bluesy - They say the Earth is about 4500 million years old or 4.5 billion. That's a whole lotta years. Of the 4500, we've been here for 7 and that makes us a "faint echo of a tiny whisper in this thunder of Time". We are just a speck of dust in a vast immensity. Thanks for stopping by to enjoy.
