Central Coast, north of San Simeon, CA

Glorious Light

How glorious is the light in clear air.

It bounces off the rocks and flowers

And strikes the eyes in a celebration of color.

It makes the shadows deep and rich,

Glows golden in the morning,

And paints the evening clouds red and purple.

Beautiful is the clear air that fills our lungs

With energy and life.

May we and our descendants

Walk in beauty all of our lives.
