staring out into a glitttering night shimmering by the lights of the city

i begin to think

i think each light is a life

a life that God loves and wants to be touched

when we try to focus on one specific light, ourselves

or a cluster of lights, comparison of ourselves

well then we get confused, distracted 

yet when we look at all the lights together

we see the beauty in God;s entire family

and we realize the masterpiece that he created in us
