For the Moment

Intense gray mass of rolling clouds. The sun shines behind its brilliant rays which ring the clouds in certain majesty. For the moment I am complete, had something delicious to eat, have comfortable shoes on my feet. For the moment I awake to blue skies, and a beautiful canopy of lovely mountain ranges, ranging to the North, South, East, West. As I take my beloved dog Dizzy for a walk I notice the Century plants which will out last my brief stay here on this version of Earth. Located in this desert's landscape are cacti of many kinds, Saguaros so big, Rabbit Ears, Stringy Cholla... they can seemingly jump onto your skin if you draw too near. For the moment I am glad to be alive and tell my Lord and how much I appreciate it being so. After a walk so grand I get my swim suit on and enjoy a swim in the outdoor pool at the place where I live, so refreshing. In faith I imagine I am in the renewal of life. As the water laps gently around me, I say another prayer for my neighbors, friends and family. For the moment I will remain pure of mind, body and soul.
