The Prayer of White Cloud

O Great Spirit,
Whose voice I hear in the winds,
And whose breath gives life to all the world,
hear me!

Let me walk in beauty and make my eyes ever behold the red and purple sunset.
Make my hands respect the things you have made,
and my ears sharp to hear your voice.

Let me learn the lessons you have hidden in every leaf and rock.
I seek strength, not to be greater than my brother,
but to fight my greatest enemy - myself.

Make me always ready to come to you
with clean hands ...
and straight eyes,

So when life fades, as the fading sunset,
my spirit may come to you ...
without shame.

Last night we had one of the most glorious sunsets I have ever seen.......and I am a sunset connoisseur! I've done posts in the past about the breathtaking sunsets we witness while on the west coast...but this "Utah sunset" last night surpassed most of the west coast and ocean sunsets that I have raved about....it was truly something that literally took your breath away. As I stood on our balcony with our daughter Liz and watched the colors change over the Great Salt Lake to the west of us, and the Wasatch Mountains to the east of us, I was genuinely in awe of the magic of nature that was unfolding in front of us. It happened so quickly...I didn't want to blink, for fear I might miss even one brilliant second of it! It made me feel very humble to witness such a spectacular miracle in the sky.....hope you enjoy the photos......I know I certainly enjoyed having the opportunity to witness nature at her finest.
