I was standing there at the Smithsonian
National Air and Space Museum in
Washington, D.C. and I saw a piece
of the moon on display. Wow! I was
able to touch the moon. How about that?
of the moon from our expeditions there.
Along with millions of other people, I got a
chance to touch a tiny sliver of the moon.
I got to touch a piece of the rock. It
triggered a million thoughts.
Millions of rocks are everywhere:
diamonds, parts of bridges, walls,
homes, sidewalks. Then there were
the rocks men were going to throw
at that woman caught in adultery.

Jesus challenged them that day and
they dropped the rocks and walked away.
In the meanwhile, I guess I prefer a clear
black sky, a bright white moon, things
undisturbed, blessed assurance, looking
for calm in a Sea of Tranquility with peace
undisturbed, blessed assurance, looking
for calm in a Sea of Tranquility with peace
and beauty as the bedrocks of my mind.
