Beauty

Harnessing all the beauty this world has to offer maybe be a challenge. But I am more than willing to take on that challenge. There may be alot of bad that is thrown at us, but that bad always seems to be laced with a little good. How can you not look at all the wreckage and carnage without hoping for something better to come of it? What about the miraculous scenery the earth bestows upon us? When you look into the ocean, do you not feel like there is something bigger out there? What about the colors in the sky as day time begins to rest? Don't they make you see the world in a different view? I want to see all that is out there. Whether on home or foreign soil, I want to capture every little bit of the good and hold onto it forever. I feel too deeply about life to just let the negativity squander my views. It may not be easy, but that doesn't mean it isn't possible. I hope I can gaze upon very grain of sand, make a wish on every dandelion in my path, and feel all of God's power with every storm.

Hammock Views

There is only one way to look at this world. Negativity, pressure, anxiety, violence, disaster, all incase around us and press down more and more each day. you get to this point where you don't know how much you can take. you look around for a way out. just some little bit of light. Just when you think that its completely incased you, you cant breath you almost cant move and then there it is, the light, the only way to break free. your finger just makes it out and finally you feel the warmth all over you, releasing you from the darkness. For me, that light came through when I let it all go, I let it go to the wind. I found myself in a place where I felt the closest to God. I found myself where I could feel the Atlantic trade winds wisp through my hair. I came to a place where the salt water met the land an I never looked back.

As I sway here in this cliché hammock over the water, between two palms,  I see nothing but good in this world. The sights that see from where I lay are too miraculous to see anything else. The evenings bring a mix of colors that brightly lighten the sky and calms the soul. As midnight takes it shift, the dark sky shoos the hues away and lets God place the stars in His exact alignment. Finally as the moon breaks the seal on the horizon  and comes into its full glory I feel this sense of well being and self worth. I don't think that I could ever see the world from a different view.
