  “We choose to go to the moon in this decade...not because it's easy, but because it's hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is, one which we intend to win,” President John F. Kennedy, 1962.

• Places:

  A leisurely walk on a remote, deserted Oregon or tropical Island Beach; a walk through clear warm summer midnight, to the top of a couple mountain range ridges I know of, in some of Oregon's remotest wilderness areas; where I clearly see in the summer moonlight, vast reaches of earth before me, for miles in any direction I look. Then, I can look up into the star-lit heavens surrounding me and be so aware that I am a direct part of that whole cosmos, seemingly swallowed-up by it!
