To Seek...To Reach...To Find..

To hear a symphony played in per­fect whole harmony, to watch the yellow glow of a fresh sunrise on a new day dawn. These move my soul, my heart to sing.

 

To see the bright sunlight reflect­ing a water fall or twinkling in fresh fallen snow, to feel the warmth of a  fire place on a chilly winters eve, these do bring my heart to sing and my soul to soar.

 

To see the new born babe catch the breath of first free fresh air, to hear the call of  bird in ariel flight, to suck in the fresh fragrant forest as rain sprinkles it anew.  Yes, these and much more place a song in my heart and cause my soul to soar.

 

What rewards you so, my friend? What touches your soul, sets it to soar and places a song within the heart of you. What moves you to dance and prance upon the spot, to stretch to heights not thought to climb? I'll tell you of mine, but shall of yours you promise not to decline?

 

It is the rosy smell when first buds burst with full bloom petal, it is the touch of a comfort­ing hand when  sorrow touches upon my time.  Why, these are just among the many that move my very soul and place a song within the heart of me.

 

It is a chorus of voices celebrating in com­bined song, to rise and fall into the air, the melody lingering there so all can hear.  And it is the sight of meadow bright, flowers abound­ing to all delight.

 

So what say, I ask of you, moves your heart to sing, and places your soul in pleasant soaring flight?

 

Is it for you as with me, to see the flaming sunset as it washes the sky with colors so bold, or to recall the fond embrace of a lovers soft hold. These and much, much more make my heart sing and soul to soar.

 

Is it these and more that move the soul of human kind, To Seek...To Reach...To Find...the journey of life upon which to climb?  I think so.... but what say you?
