I love the beauty of this place, the
greenery, the tall trees, the ponds, the bright sun, the multicolored wild
flowers, and the blue sky. The honeysuckle whose sweet perfume fills the air
in the still warm darkness. The cool breeze sweetened by an evening
rain. The low singular voices of the bullfrogs, and the toads who join with
their frenzied chorus. Fresh shredded pastures on a hot summer afternoon.
The chorus of coyotes that howl in the dead of night standing the hair on
the back of my neck. This place makes me feel close to my maker, the one who
breathed the breath of life into me. The one who protects and watches me
constantly.
Then there is the Dark Side. The Evil. The thief in the night who steals progress, compassion, comfort, and justice. Incarcerating unjustly causing unjust suffering. Accusing false crimes, while true crime goes unpunished. Blind to true human suffering and indignation. Oblivious to the facts, caring for nothing except swelling its own insatiable gain. |
