High Above The Earth

High Above The Earth, a photo by hbmike2000 on Flickr.

As the sun crests the curvature of the Earth and the first warm fingers of light pull away the curtain of darkness, a small satellite spins through the void of space high above the little blue planet. Lost, looking for a home, it scans the surface of the world below it. It sees war, feels hate, fears desolation and cries for the poverty. The little satellite spins in the nothing and decides to continue on. As it begins to leave the gravitational pull of the world it found, it glances back one last time. A moment, a brief second of time stops it. It hesitates and looks again. Another moment comes, could it be? It probes deeper into what it sees and feels. Yes, it's there if you look. Happiness, Joy, Peace, Love. But most of all, it feels the Hope. The tiny satellite floats down through the atmosphere, down towards the surface of the blue planet, down to a place, it will call home.

View with Hope that we will see a world with no war, hate, desolation, or poverty in our lifetime.
