The space shuttle is able to leave the earth’s pull, travel through space, and then return home again. But it’s only able to launch into space because it is propelled by rockets that will not make the whole, grand journey.
Who has made it possible for you to escape your usual orbit?
Who (or what) has made me leave my usual orbit? I have been a classical music lover since college days. Now, I have an acquaintance who is 50 years younger than I and is “into the current music styles”; I’m learning the names of well known groups and soloists who appear on the scene. Most, I detest; however, I am listening to some of it with renewed interest because, contemplating, I realize that some of the longing for love themes still abound. When I was a post teenager, I played that kind of music on the piano and have intense and poignant recollections of doing so.
