When you look across a moment in the best time of your life.
To see something that strikes you as such beauty that it takes your breath.
I wonder if at that moment. If asked to describe what you saw, how would it be done?
Do you describe the colours of each thing you see? Maybe I need more depth. If you have a moment of your so precious time, I would try and change the way you see the world.

The scene: a graveyard of lost men who fought in a war that no one wanted but they answered the call.

An Arch in the foreground surrounded by a wrought iron fence and a gate leading in.

The scene. A slight hill with old rich coloured Sandstone changed by the acid falling upon its surface day after day, year after year.
There is a building to the right of the arch composed of the same stone but with a newer cleaned look sometime in the last twenty years.
There is a blue sky and it is late September on the East coast of Canada with the sun at an angle when it shines’s in your eyes.
There is a fence at the breast of the hill separating the buildings property from the graveyard.
As the sun casts it’s shadow on the stones black with age with some people walking through on the different paths.
The statue has carvings, which are so defined as that it leaves you with the impression that they were given the utmost care in each detail.
The carving on the top, with the stance of pride, or ruler of all who come through these gates!
In the background there are these beautiful trees standing guard over the secrets and keeping those at rest protection from any storm.
But through this strength, allowing the gentle flow of light through the branches and lighting the path’s found below.
Like watching fireflies on a hot summer’s night frozen in flight for a moment for us to see.
And the colour of the trees showing greys with a slight touch of Brown on the sunny side of each, with a thin line of gold reflection from the light bouncing off the bark.
In all this time the sun had progressed through the trees towards the lion that stood guard on the Arch. Then for a moment when the sun reached that critical moment on that day.
It looked like there was a golden light emitting from the Lions protective stance.
It was then that I realized, that he was protecting those who protected us all in some war in some country where each one finally had to fall.
I hope that these words paint a picture in your mind.
For these were the soldiers, Our Brother’s, our Friend’s.
And for that moment when you can see that moment in time.
Remember that they died for us and our freedom and our children everywhere today.
I guess what I would say to those who remember is that, when November rolls around each year show that you care and buy a poppy from your local legion

Hello My fellow Traveller. I stopped by simply to see how you bare doing? I have been very busy with instillations of officers of the Lodge, which will run through till June. So forgive me if I am tardy at times. Well I am almost another year older, I will be 55 on Monday. Never thought your conversations were with a man of age hey? Well as long as we speak of things of helping and watching your writings I guess it is ok. No improprieties. We have started some new projects this year to feed the hungry and we opened another free school for Dyslexic children so things are moving well. I am a bit stressed as my New landlord seems to be prejudiced against Masons. he has given me notice to leave with no reason. So I am in the midst of hearings for this as well. But I have always fought for other's my whole life so I may know a thing or two. Remember that the path you take always has three different directions, The described way, The way which you will be led, and your way. I simply as someone who has an interest in your success would suggest the one way which I know I need not even state to follow. And you know why. I shall bid you well fond traveller, be safe on your journey, and beware and cautious of tricksters. Have a great day, and write. OK
