In My Mind I'm Going to...

'With ten miles behind me, and ten thousand more to go…..'
Sha smiled to herself as her mind pondered the words. She loved classical music but struggled with the antiquated references.
What was a Stockbridge? A turnpike? Boston? A mile? Baffling, beautiful words.
As usual, she was careful not to voice these questions, Hope would offer the answers instantly, killing any romantic ideas that the music wove in her head.
Efficient but soulless. Like everything else in her world.
Sha preferred to use her imagination, preserve a little romance. Keep a little mystique.
'With ten miles behind me, and ten thousand more to go.'
Sha smiled again at the obvious, unobvious, similarity.
She hummed the ancient tune, adding her own lyrics, 'With ten thousand lightyears behind me, and ten million more to go!'
Maybe she would name the first exoplanet "Stockbridge" a mysterious name for those who would awaken and settle there, many years from now, to ponder?
Sha smiled at the thought, as Hope ploughed relentlessly on into the void.
