Soft colors fill the sky, as if painted there by the late Claude Monet.  A quiet, indulgent start to the day, that faith has brought me to witness this sight before me, this softness to comfort and contrast the trauma and sadness I have seen.  The natural world gives us what we need to survive, mentally and emotionally, if we take the opportunity to notice what has been placed around us, to take the time to turn away from our busy lives, if only for a few minutes.  

Let these moments heal you from the trauma you have seen.
