Ordinary Days #23: Flight into the heavens

Nothing that humans propose to do

   will now be impossible for them. (Genesis 11:6)

I just watched Jeff Bezos’ flight into space from his east Texas ranch. What to make of it? With a critical eye, one might ask, what does this 200 billion dollar man’s Disneyland Ride have to do with societal struggles below? On the other hand, there is something, at least for me, wonderfully human in his flight above—a man with a dream; and, the freedom to live it out.
