Something Gained, Something Lost
Forty years ago today, humans set foot on the moon, advancing science and extending frontiers. But I can't help but wonder if we also lost something? Did it diminish our sense of magic, the magnificence of beauty that is beyond our reach.
In my life I've waited tables, raised sons, taught school, published books, and railed at politicians. I'm building a house, next to my son, where I can spend time with my granddaughter. I read, write, and dream about being immortal.

There's a part of me that believes man didn't really set foot on the moon. So I still feel the magic.
Wow! Talk about real time feedback. That's cool. I also changed it a little so take a 2nd look : )
Smartz, your blog has morphed into an intelligent, beautifully written bit of social commentary that wows me every time I read it.
Thank you so much. You keep me motivated to post regularly!
