Creative Challenge ~ The Illuminating Truth

The Illuminating Truth

The Illuminating Truth

 

There are not many certainties in Life these days

Certainties of the man made kind that is,

However

There are certainties that many of us take for granted everyday

The beauty of the sunrise as it greets a brand new day

Or a glorious sunset heralding the darkness of night soon on it's way

All these creations are of the natural kind

So much more I can say.

 

Crisp cool mornings

Sun shining days

Rain on the roof top

Colours of the rainbow across a blue sky now turned grey

Buds springing forth

Then Blossoms in Bloom

No thoughts of pessimism doom or gloom

Open your window

Breath in the day

Call forth your inner joy

And cast all those worries away.

 

Certainties and guarantees of the man made kind

Become only a means to an end

When we concentrate on what is most important in our lives

My Dear Friends

It is Loving and Living in the moment

That grounds us and sanctifies natures daily gifts to us

Until Our Life in Natures Presence Finally Ends.

Milli 11

    We most certainly were Baz...It must be our cameras that have opened our eyes to the moment so to speak.

    Lovely pictures and verse, though if I opened my door or window, I'd instantly be fried by the heat.
