Take a Camera! You Never Can Anticipate What Beauty Lies Ahead!

What an amazingly beautiful day! At 1 pm, I headed to a deposition. Before leaving, I experienced this voice from the universe urging me, “take your camera.” I didn't listen.

Upon driving down Interstate 15 to West Jordan City, an amazing array of ice-crystal studded cirrus clouds, blinding-white nimbus discs clouds, and condensation streaks fanned out above the still-snowy peaks of the two Twins (Broad and American Fork), and then Lone Peak. The summer sun's rays were scattered into rainbows between them, and the dispersed and distilled sun rays that filtered through the clouds brought out the luxuriant green from the pines.

In desperation, I called my office before the deposition started. One of my employees said that before leaving for work, she too, had heard a voice from the universe telling her to take her camera to work.

Knowing the important things in life, I gave her the assignment to go “snap away.” I hope her skills were up to the task, because although many similar days will come, this, like the eclipse, was a “once-in-a-blue-moon” occurrence.

Though economies may fall, banks may fold, political fortunes may change, and markets may crash, life will go on, we will adjust, we will learn and adapt. However, if our water goes foul, our land is spoiled, our air is soiled, and our oceans crash, many of our lives will not go on and the lessons learned will be painful and costly.
