I
was 17 years old. Along with a dozen other boys I had made a long trip to Iowa

purple and pink clouds all 11 together in a picture painted by Heaven's own
hand. It was so huge that it took my breath away. It made our mountain sunsets
seem 12 by comparison. I realized that this place too
had its own special beauty. This place too was a part of nature's 13 .
