Even though deep in our minds we knew what it really was, as soon as we saw the bright light shining on the path ahead it gave us hope. Hope that there was a brighter future ahead. Hope we would find happiness at the end of the dark road we'd been traveling. It filled our hearts, lifted our spirits and ...

The evening was a quiet one, relatively uneventful. Of course the city was ablaze with lights, traffic and people dashing to and fro.

Our dark, peaceful night was suddenly brought into the light by ...
Why do we always feel the need to divide up the world? Putting fences and walls up to keep some people in and turn others away.

Since X marks the spot, it looks like you have arrived at your chosen destination. I know there probably isn't a buried treasure here, but there is something that many would consider much more valuable. A beauty, a peace of mind, a feeling of somehow being closely connected to nature. You can't help but smile when you see that you ...
After a fun-filled day along the shore of Gordon's Bay, there's something so serene about simply walking along the water's edge at sunset. When the clouds are rolling along and the sun is slowly descending below the mountaintops, the colors in the sky are quick to point out the true beauty of nature. You take a deep breath, try to ...
Nature has a way of growing, changing, and adapting to the world around it. Even when one tree dies, somewhere, another tree is ready to ...
