What happens to us
Is irrelevant to the world's geology
But what happens to the world's geology
Is not irrelevant to us.
We must reconcile ourselves to the stones
Not the stones to us.                                               (Hugh MacDiarmid, 1934)

We have to open our mind and heart to see the real treasures of our world. (Sylvia, Scotland 2008)

Every night the horizon lights up.
Swirls of pink and orange fading to blue and purple.
Each sunset is different, no two exactly alike.
For the colors are shimmering , for a moment they stay.
Only to disappear into change. Change just as beautiful as the last.
