Once Upon A Tower

Once when I was younger
I climbed the Eiffel Tower
hoping to gain a clearer
perspective of my life.
On ground level I felt like
a man craving adventure,
willing to do whatever I
must to reach a goal.
The higher I climbed the
fre'er I felt, but as my
view of Paris expanded
I felt smaller and smaller.
As I approached the top and
was now higher than most, I
noticed that even though Paris
was wide in length and width,
the buildings, the cars, and
especially the people looked
very small, and from that place
I felt more connected to the
Creater than to those down below.
For just a moment, I felt like I
was seeing the world through Gods
eyes and knowing those things
that God knows, almost like I was
thinking some of His thoughts,
and then my heart knew that it
was time for me to go.

I had much the same feeling when I first saw the Grand Canyon....
