I am always amazed at the imagination we have and how far mankind has come over the centuries…. then I look at nature!
Imagine
The thrill of the imagination
Takes us places we can never go
Beyond this earthly home
Out into the solar system
Wrapping our minds around the
Concept of a galaxy in a world far far away
Imagine going into the depths of the earth
All the way to China as we used to say
…Our way of saying very deep
Imagine riding with Voyager
As it continues to sail out into the universe
Beyond our solar system to worlds unknown
Having paid its dues in 2012 sailing on
Singing I’ll fly away oh glory I’ll fly away
Who are the imaginers of the present
With visions beyond this realm
Pushing the outer limits in ways yet to be
Not content to live in Earth’s isolation
Rather seeking ways to imagine
The reality of a Star Trek generation
That will stretch our imaginations even more
All of our achievements amount to very little when compared to the world around us, and the universe… which is beyond imagination!
I cannot imagine that it all just happened with a Big Bang!!

We have allowed TV, movies, and video games to draw our vision so far down, that we no longer know how yo look up and, to wonder, to marvel – that is why modern mad is going mad, drugged into a daze, or twisted into violence. We need to go out and look up, and shut up. We are living life inside out! Great write Dwight! 🙂

How exciting that so much things have been accomplished by science in the last decades and more to come. For me travelling to far away planets is big game changer. Maybe in our grandchildren’s lifetime, this is possible.
We wrote of the same theme- smiles.

The humongous bigness of the universe has always awed me and was the trigger for my search for the deeper questions about life.
Thank you Roth

It’s one of the reasons I love reading science fiction. The lens of the cosmic telescope gives an infinite number of views. Great poem to dream along with, Dwight.

Thank you! Perhaps that is why we have imaginations… to dream of what is out there!

It is mind-boggling. And when I try to ponder the Big Bang–or what was before it–I can’t. 🙂
Björn’s comment made me think of Douglas Adams and “A Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.”

Sometimes I believe we tend to over think things and that takes us way over the edge!

I enjoyed this so much! Imagination is the universal tool that allows us to code our future. No change to coding, no change to our existence.
