Scents and Scenes

The smell of fresh rain hitting dry earth,
The taste and texture of crisp sweet watermelon melting on the tongue,
The sight of pinks, greens and burning orange, blending into the horizon just after sundown,
The feeling of cobbled footpaths underneath your feet,
The sound of laughter from stories well-told, against a backdrop of locusts, distant music and the whirling of a fan
The sense of being welcome in an unfamiliar place,
The wonder of being known by the God who created the vast sea of stars seen on a night like this
A fraction of what is out there
Just some of things I’m thankful to have experienced today.
