Tonight, in my car, I witnessed the most incredible lightning storm I have ever seen.

The smell of damp earth, cool raindrops and the tangy scent of electricity poured in through the open window like a waterfall to my senses. Amidst the lights rocketing through the sky, I was filled with such a longing and emptiness, wishing for someone to share with me the thrill of the show.
At this point, I glanced about at my sleeping passengers and realized that this romantic thunderstorm and
this moment was for me from my God. It's good to savor a moment like that. A balm to the soul.
Yet still I yearn for that human contact and wonder what I'm doing staying in this life I call my own. If only the bigger picture were clear.If only the lines of right and wrong weren't so clearly drawn.
So again, I breath deep the smell of wet grass and wonder if these moments, here and now, are all I'm meant to understand.....

I'm anxiously awaiting the adventures this summer will bring, the inevitable joys and sorrows of life. I want to see the world through the eyes of my children and capture as many moments in word and film as I can, sharing it with my friends and family who can't be with me soooo....here we go!
