Shadows darkened and the sun dipped
westward below the horizon.
A gentle breeze drifted in and began cooling the
hot earth.
Soon the mountains appeared suspended amid
the glitter of the stars.
The surrounding silence and starlight served to
refresh the soul.
 
We were left to contemplate our existence among
the billions of stars and galaxies overhead.
For that moment anxiety and conflicts lay behind us,
relegated to the deeper recesses of our minds.
Do we free ourselves and ignore earthly travesties,
or do we take action?
We cannot rewrite history, but we can shape the
future.
