RELECTIONS, inspired by a photograph

When reviewing the following piece, please understand these are my reflections inspired by a photograph.  Since the photograph is not mine and I have no posting rights, I cannot physically show it to you except with words.  I am not trying to tell a story or give a message here... but only wish to share my reflections.

RELECTIONS, inspired by a photograph

         Climbing out of a storm cellar, everything is bright and distinct as the sun pierces through an azure sky with white cotton candy clouds, the backdrop for violet-colored wildflowers on skinny green stems.  Life should be so beautiful. 

         ... Reaching the summit of a rocky mountainside, weary from the climb -- this majestic view awaits me. 

         ... As I lie in my grave, this is the ground that covers me.

         ... Looking on the beauty captured here, I am drawn to my God and it is well with my soul.
