Sunsets

Sunsets.  The end of long hot summer days.  Reminiscing of school mates from oh so long ago, a lifetime ago.  Prayerful thoughts for one from that life, who now seems to be fighting for hers.  This summer has taught us to reflect upon stages of life, friends, and where we all are now, and how small this world really is.  Hopeful in the thought that sunsets soon lead to sunrises.  This morning's pre-dawn, in our unusual extreme heat and humidity, greeted me with fireflies lighting their way through the garden; lighting the way to sunrise.
