774. 3…2…1… blastoff

the most earthly things
can launch the opened up mind
into outer space  🦊❤️

I watched the launch of a Spacex rocket yesterday. It was carrying a crew to the International Space Station. I vividly remember when the launch of any rocket was an occasion that caused the world to stand still and turn on the TV to watch Cape Canaveral personnel in white shirts and ties monitoring the countdown to blast off. When I walked outside the parking lot was dotted with brilliant fallen leaves. For a brief moment I stood and looked… I was really in outer space.  🦊❤️
