Sunset

 

Lakewood, NJ

 

Early 2006

 

 

"Sunsets are so beautiful that they almost seem as

if we are looking through the gates of heaven."

~John Lubbock~

This picture was taken threw the screen window at my parents house.

Not the house I grew up in but the one I found myself in as an adult.

 

Sunsets were always so amazing from the back porch.

They looked like oil paintings you would find in a museum.

I loved to stand and just look out at the beauty God gives us.

I'm still searching for those sunsets 120 miles north of there.

 

When I was trying to find myself in my 20's I traveled this great country.

When I had to rebuild myself in my thirties I sat and watched the sunsets.

I found peace with God and confidence in myself just from the simple beauty.

 

I still find sunsets to be peaceful,

They make me find my center,

They are pure magic and should be enjoyed.
