G. M. Roper reminds us: "...the mightiest works of man cannot come close a simple work of God; examine if you will, Sunset in the Gulf of Mexico."

This reminded me of hiking with a friend up to Spence Field nearly 30 years ago. Upon reaching Spence Field, we saw a towering cumulus cloud directly in front of the sun. Rays of light emanated from both sides and above the cloud. It was a magnificent sight.

My friend felt an irresistible urge to describe the sight and went into a lengthy monologue comparing the sun/cloud view to a great god from mythology, etc., ad nauseum. It quickly became apparent to me that what he loved most was his description of the scene, not the scene.

Thanks, G.M., for recognizing the beauty and keeping it simple.
