O Lord, our Lord, 

   how majestic is your name in all the earth! 

You have set your glory above the heavens. 

   Out of the mouth of babies & infants,

you have established strength because of your foes,

   to still the enemy & the avenger.

When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,

   the moon & the stars, which you have set in place, 

what is man that you are mindful of him,

   & the son of man that you care for him?

Yet you have made him a little lower then the heavenly beings 

   & crowned him with glory & honor. 

You have given him dominion over the works of your hands; 

   you have put all things under his feet,

all sheep & oxen,

& also the beasts of the field,

     the birds of the heavens, & the fish of the sea,

whatever passes along the paths of the seas. 

O Lord, our Lord

    how majestic is your name in all the earth! 

-Psalm 8 

The sunset's afterglow illuminated the sky in shades of purple mixed with pinky-yellow. The air temperature started to cool down, but the ground is still radiating up the warmth of the dry hot day. I took a long leisurely walk, just as the moon was rising above the horizon. It was beautiful. Quite. Serene. Just perfect.
