Capturing Sun Dust

Capturing Sun Dust©
Ray Waugh, Jr.

Today I noticed a young man …
     coat hung on the street sign …
         shoes beside his bare feet …
               books his pillow and
like the butterfly in the early morning
stretching its wings to capture the "Sun Dust".

Was he was taking a moment
     to reflect on the this day's adventures …
           stopping by the street curb to ponder the days ahead …
                stretched out in the brown-dry grass
                perhaps thanking the Lord for the moment …
                    maybe even “cramming” for a test …

I do not know what he was thinking. I am only supposing … I mentioned the butterfly with out stretched wings to him.  Then passed on to my class allowing him his moment of "warming in the sun" on a "surprise spring day" in the latter days of Winter 1985.

The Apostle Peter gained rather significant insight on a roof at noon one day.

We all need to take moments to stop and take moment to . . . 
     "Be still and know that I am God."
Through all the shaking ground, breaking rocks, wind, and noise . . . 
     "Hear the still small Voice."
