Last Light Sentinel
“We each hold the potential to be a sentinel for our own personal light and spirit. Much like a tree standing alone and resilient in the final moments before impending darkness, we should find the beauty and strength that reside within us all.” – unknown
Let this image have a cooling effect, as it’s forecast to be abnormally hot (by previous averages) here in North Carolina this week. We did get some rain this past weekend, enough to make June’s rainfall total near average. However, that’s not making a dent in the overall drought and rainfall deficit, especially with the high temperatures.
As a nation, we are approaching our 250th anniversary. It’s hard to believe that in just over 250 years, we have transformed from a nearly untouched natural environment to our current state of burning, flooding, pollution, and environmental stress. The scope of this change in such a relatively short period is almost unbelievable.

A beautifully framed reflection.
Thank you, Pepper!
My pleasure. 😊
Love this image and it does have a cooling effect. I agree with the unbelievable actions we have taken towards our natural environment. Instead of knowing we are a part of nature we seem to see ourselves as separate and nature as a commodity to exploit. There is a price to be paid.
I was working on tomorrow’s Fanciful Friday post when I received your comment notification, prompting me to reply relatively quickly today. I can only imagine the beauty that must have surrounded us 250 years ago, whereas now we often have to travel or take a vacation just to experience a small piece of it. Thanks, Monte.
