Vantage Point

By Jon Barney

When did you last?...

Grand Canyon

Run through an open field?

New England Flowers

Take a look at yourself differently?

Virginia Eastern Shore

Or chart your own course?

Shenandoah Natl Park

Tried to broaden your horizons?

Badlands Natl Park

Or watch the sun set?

Atlantic Coast

Or take a walk in the woods?

Connecticut Fall

We are each very small in the scheme of things

Badlands Natl Park

Yet each has the ability to stand out

Virginia Woods

And live and thrive even in harsh conditions

Mid Atlantic Winter

And grow into truly what we want to be…

New England Field

…sometimes in unexpected places

New England Windmill

No matter what you do…the sun will rise again

Prairie Sunrise

And the tide will ebb and flow

Maryland Eastern Shore

The seasons will change

Connecticut Fall

And day turns dusk and to night again

Badlands Natl Park

And even the strongest living things eventually pass on

Wyoming Woods

So why would you not try to climb that mountain?

Devils Tower

Or cross that river?

Great Falls Natl Park

Or find that special view?

Grand Canyon

And see the world from a different angle?

Shenandoah Natl Park

And reach for the sky?

Virginia Woods

The seasons will change about 80 times in the average person’s life. How many more will there be…

Shenandoah Natl Patch

…before you make your own footprints in the sand?

White Sands New Mexico

Time is short

Life moves pretty fast…if you don’t stop to look around once in a while you could miss something – Ferris Bueller

Mid-Atlantic woods
