God, help our
Nation to be good
Our world to be great
The cosmos, when
Receiving us,
Never-ending wonder
And discovery

Liturgic wishing
Into prose action
New metaphors required
Upon each arrival
In a spaceship
On a new shore,
Bearing guilt and hope
Germs and solutions

Ready to eat there and
To take some sips from
A silver sea

I hope we will be smarter when we travel in space. I fear we will take our problems there.

I hope we will be smarter, too. I think for a while we’ll try to take our better selves out there.

Happy Thanksgiving, Christopher. Hope you are doing well.

Thank you, Lynn. Happy Thanksgiving to you. I’m okay, stressed still by the thudding neighbor and finding out this is not a good time to be looking for a new place. Sigh. I hope you’re having good days.
