All of us need a small hatch through which we can climb out of our little spaceship once in a while.
So we can look at ourselves from the outside and see what is good and what needs repair and what could be put to better use. So we can look beyond ourselves and see how we compare to the vast universe.
In fact, we all have just such a hatch. We don’t use it much, however. Because we are so fearful of leaving our comfortable, well-defined selves and venturing into the vast Beyond.
But if we never leave, how will we grow?
Sometimes it’s hard to climb out of that capsule and take a long hard look at the person we’ve been, and we’ve become. However, for our own sakes, not no one else’s’, we must force ourselves to take that first hesitant step. If we don’t our feet will become planted in one spot and they’ll probably never move; but if we take one small step for mankind, as was said, we’ll be on our way to one heck of an exciting trip. We’ll actually be moving around the globe and back; that’s our globe of course. And we’ll never regret the very first day of take off shooting far and wide into a new life and a new beginning.
