I remember floating in a glass bubble in the Eye of London,it is the most extreme Ferris wheel in the world,it sits on the South Bank of the River Thames in London , with glass rooms for passengers to ride. I remember growing up to the sky and then back down to the Thames, watching the city lights change with distance, up and down. There are so many reasons I love space. When I was little I dreamed of Nasa and idolized Christa McAuliffe. I wish I could be an astronaut, tonight to be floating in the most sci-fi spaceship ever, watching earth's atmosphere change, putting my fingers against the glass, Russia as small as my thumb. I would have a glass of wine, or maybe a bag, because I don't think you can use glasses in space. I'd take a deep breath and I would hear "That's How Strong my Love Is," by Otis Redding, I would take another sip and my eyes would fill up and water, and I would swallow hard, taking in this moment, feeling so much love in my heart, wondering if this is how God feels about us, looking down, taking His hand, measuring it against the oceans, the Horn of Africa. I can't have that moment, maybe in fifty years, but I can't have that moment now. All the anxiety I feel right now, the questions, the unknowns- they'll all be ok. This summer I'll find a new place, be at a new place in my life and at night I'll lay back on my patio, put on my Otis Redding vinyl and look in wonder, tear up and swallow hard, in awe of our God... His creation his love...."That's How Strong my Love Is," Otis Redding.
