     This picture, this image unparalled, I watched a higher power paint a picture for me today
     As the sun falls toward the gently rippling sea
     White puffs of clouds dressed in hues of red.      
     Each moment richer in color and vibration
     of joy that spreads within my heart
     knowing each day this picture is shared
     by anyone and everyone.
     No camera, no painting by human hand
     can capture the beauty of this moment.
     All else is insignificant to the magnificance
     of God's creation and the joy
     this one simple sunset can bring.
     And holding the image brings a peace
     into my heart
     and understanding to my soul.

     by anything of man has happened
     day after day, week after week, year after year,
     century after century, eon after eon
     and will continue eon after eon long
     after we are gone and our seemingly
     important fears and desires are nothing
     but dust.
     All we think we have is an illusion
     gone when we enter that final sleep.
     All we need is much closer than we think.
