Excellence And Wonder

 

 A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu


Kindness expands 
the light within us 
and reaches out to 
touch the light 
in others as well.
Wayne W. Dyer. 




To the Artemis flyers

You carry  human courage, 
The light of every dream 
 To reach beyond horizons.
Working hard and clean.

You remind us
 Exploration is 
Return to wonder.
The moon is your path, 
But inspiration 
Your gift to Earth.

In your flight we recognize 
The most ancient 
Of all longing
To go farther, see more, 
And become more.
From the silence 
of space 
message of hope.

 Your journey 
Honors the brave, 
Inspires the searcher, 
And lifts the spirit 
Of all who look up.

Artemis flies for discovery, 
For excellence, and  
The hunger
 To meet the unknown 
with courage.
Pixie & Cloudia





Make me a candle
of comfort in this world.
Make me burn
with peace.

  1. I can see why it's called the crown flower, and it's very nice.

  2. We can't imagine ever wanting to go into space. It is so dangerous and who knows if anything will ever come of it except some photos. Thankfully there are people that want that kind of adventure so the rest of us don't need to do it.

  6. I remember the space shuttles. So glad there is interest in expanding human knowledge, but do wish they'd have the same enthusiasm for our planet's environmental crisis.
