All I had to do was hitch a ride. On the Voyager I
spacecraft. Launched in 1977. And I’d be out of our solar system. Into another
world. Yes, an incredible nearly 12
billion miles from Earth. Took 36 years to get that far. Drifting at a speed of
about 37,000 miles an hour. The scientists at NASA tell us that Voyager left
the solar system on Aug. 25, 2012. Maybe Voyager will drift forever
in interstellar space. Voyager’s next significant encounter is expected to be with
a faraway dwarf star. In 40,000 years. Voyager keeps sending back signals.
Takes 17 hours for the signals to reach Earth.
But I’m thinking, thinking, thinking. That when I become spirit, I can
catapult myself past Voyager and to any place in the cosmos. In an instant.
Because spirits live outside of time. With the creator. That’s my favorite
dream. –Jim Broede
