may i fly past the moon, across the deep divide of space, around our sun and towards the red planet of Mars. Once there i will wander over amazing rocky formations, over bare mountains and across waterless rivers. i will pause in my wonder and view the sun that powers all life on earth, and marvel at he universe.

i will dream that one day we will be able to make this journey effortless, perhaps we will value the lessons learnt on Earth, and Mars may be our future and our survival, and the home of a better species than we currently are
