Today has been 10.10.10, which in binary language (computer speak, 101010) is 42, a number steeped in history and magic and fascinating numerological oddities. Sometimes the answer to everything, though, is simply seeing the wide sky.

Photo of the Day 07/30/10 - Unfurled Beneath a Clear Blue Sky

Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds, — and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of — wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air. . . .

Up, up the long, delirious burning blue
I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or ever eagle flew —
And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

— High Flight
