Ancient writing mixed with flaw distract a curious few, when the meaning we are parsing lies just beneath the view. We reach for heavens and heaven-sent with ever brilliant minds, and never turn our eyes to see the ones we’ve left behind. Distractions lurking everywhere, technology and strife. Perhaps the light we’re longing for is at the center of all life. So when we walk the sea shore and gaze the skies above, remember what we're searching for was prompted by our love.
