When I was little and anything was possible I wanted to be an astronaut. (Never mind the fact that I am the least risk taking person ever and could never ever go through space training or have the guts to go out to space) But the ability to see the globe, to comprehend the creation of the stars and the moon, to completely go outside of all sense of reality and get a new perspective on our place in the universe. Well I guess you could say last week I left Provo and I entered "space." I got away from the gravity and pressure that feels like it might crush you at times and other times keeps you grounded. I was hoping for a new perspective on life. The ability to see my world globally instead of being tightly wrapped up in it. Well I'm not sure I spent enough time comprehending that perspective but I've re-entered. Apparently when spaceships re-enter the pressure of earth's atmosphere with cracks or flaws they burn up. Well I'm pretty sure I have cracks...but I guess you can't stay away for forever. Eventually the loss of gravity depletes your strength so here I am praying that my cracks don't cause me to burn and praying that I'm strong enough to withstand the weight of the gravity that it will strengthen me, not crush me.
On the bright side though, I started my job and it's been really good :) I'm so blessed and the mountains with the snow and clouds looked gorgeous this morning, kind of like the picture you see above. See things aren't so bad right?
