Beauty is in the Human Bond

The water inundates the houses and the towns. Washing all the beauty to an ugliness of brown. Homes are ruined, with memories loss, by heavy drowning-floods. Nasty and distasteful times, swallowed, up in muds. Yet, in tragedy is beauty for brotherhood is there. A loving, sacrificial braveness permeates soaked air. People stretch to take great risks in saving human lives. And those within the jaws of death get chances to survive. The love connection’s present wherever else one goes, the beauty and the caring in a world within the throes. Heat, fires, droughts and earthquakes won’t destroy “the human bond.” In all life’s throes of "ugly,” the human bond's still strong. When we behold a person save another from death's grasp, they take upon themselves a risk that no one else can ask. No greater love had only one to offer up his life. The beauty of this move to save is divine sacrifice.
