don't forget to stop and smell the roses...

driving through traffic, heading home, mind full of thoughts, preoccupied, turn left on flager road, pass the mailboxes, pass the tanks, look to the left, and...

...

suddenly, all thoughts vanish, mind clears, calm floods the car, my mind, my soul...turn off the radio, slow down, and stare...

at the beauty, the grand majesty of the view...

the mountains, periwinkle in the distance, silhouetted against the light blue sky and white puffs of clouds, anchored by miles of low-growing vegetation and red sand...

everything makes sense...i relax without even trying, my breathing slows, my head clears...

it is HIS world.

and i am just living in it, with HIM leading the way.

...


thanks, god, that i get to see this every time i drive home.
