Colorado Yearning

It has only been a few hours since we left and I yearn for Colorado.
I found a piece of God there, as if he whispered to me and said "Have a glimpse of my glory".
Mountains as high as an eagle can fly, rivers rushing exactly as they have for millions of years, herds of Elk out in the distance and more rainbows and waterfalls in one day than I have seen in years.
How wonderful at last to be nearly a half century of age and finally to be immersed in God's creation.
I can't decide if I miss Colorado or miss seeing and feeling the presence of God around every pass and in every rainbow.
In the evening when I lay down my head and seek peace from my troubles of this life; I will dream of Colorado. I will listen for the comfort of the Lord who after he created her found it much too painful to leave… as I just have……
