When I stepped out on the back deck to greet the new day I was struck by the crisscrossing of so many jet contrails in the early morning sky. The sun seemed to be rising on it's journey across the sky and I marveled at the human race joining the sun to travel through the the heavens. Who knew that Icarus had the right idea, he just overstepped his bounds and made the sun angry. (Of course, the sun knew that Icarus would learn the secret that it is the earth that moves, not Sol.)
Today with a new understanding we soar into the edge of space and fill the sky with voyages unimagined just a blink of universal time ago. Before I ran for my camera I was filled with wonder and a sense of gratitude that I am here to ponder the miracle of life and all that has come before to give me this day.
This is the day the Lord has made, rejoice and be glad in it.
