On the bridge of the finest vessel to ever set sail across the ocean of stars tonight a crusty medical doctor embraced his friend with a warm hug and smile as a chief engineer greeted his science officer with a bottle of fine Scotch with a brogue of happiness.
Unlike his nature, the science officer smiled at his friends in their greeting with a statement of "Illogical, but fascinating." And there they patiently wait for the rest of their crew to join them as they will set sail across the cosmos in search of unknown wonders our minds cannot comprehend in all of our pondering nature.
To them, this little boy looks with admiration and appreciation for their fearlessness in having touched the face of God and as they prepare for even greater adventures in never ceasing in seeking out new worlds, new life, and new civilizations beyond this mortal coil as we know it. And one day I and we shall all boldly go along with them in their exploration.
