The Adventure of Being Human
Mountains, though ever changing,
stand strong in the distance –
their peaks and slopes
repositories for cherished memories
and the promise of future escapades.
A soft evening sky
reflects in seemingly quiet waters,
causes us to, as well.
Peaceful beauty
simply
there for us to behold
together,
though well we know
the movement of fathoms,
each with our own deeps
that can stir and swirl.
Moments such as these
along the shore of a silver lake
help us once again understand
the validity and substance
of the spectrum
from sorrow to joy,
despair to love,
grief to faith
in shared Divinity.
All of these and the
in betweens,
integral elements
in the adventure
of being human.
