Watch Dan’s Flight Into Space
Soaring to the edge of space in a U2 Spy Plane to a “classified” altitude above the earth’s surface, wherein Dan witnessed the breathtaking curvature of the earth, and for 3 hours gazed into the blackness of space, pondering the wonders of the universe and the reality of eternity;
“U2 ETERNITY”
Today I woke, prepared myself both physically and mentally
And breathed only the purest thoughts to free myself from every negativity
Then suited up, protected from reality, to board a secret craft
to soar beyond the bonds of
life’s ordinary gravity
Up, straight up I shot, and danced with clouds until I climbed above them
in high flight to see as far as I could see
I saw the curvature of earth, and on the edge of space, if we’re alone,
a waste of space it is for all humanity
And in the blackness of our universe, suspended on the wind above
where eagles fly,
with grace I hovered, sensing that
the best is yet to be
Where in the sounds of silence realized what we take with us in death,
is what I had with me:
Education, character, and a
‘made-a-difference’ legacy
Then, with tear-filled eyes, surreal in a tranquil blue serenity,
my heart stood still in
breathtaking humility
As I, in awe, felt His almighty presence while I gazed into eternity.
