Morning

I don't remember when this was taken.  All I remember is the sun was unusually orange that morning and the dust particles in the air made it stand out even more.

But what also captured my eye were the construction tower cranes that stood silent that morning.

They were a reminder of progress - or what appears to be progress - the construction of new and grand building on our little blue planet.

Contrasted against the orange glow of an ancient sun.

Perhaps we should spend less time running around trying to acquire more wealth and possessions; and spend more time celebrating life.

Sunset

I was reminded about death today.

We are surrounded by death everyday. But we are never prepared for the moment we lose a loved one.

Even with those having terminal illnesses.

What more for sudden losses?

Nature Wonders

I stare at the dove; it stares back at me.

I wonder what it knows.  I wonder who goes on in its head.  What does it think about?  What goes through its mind?

We think we are the superior species, the master race?

Perhaps we are.

But give credit to the Maker who creates the variety of life on our little blue planet.
