Fire Bird Birth From Fiery Sun & Dark Clouds, The Razor's Edge Of Hope & Miracle

Fire Bird Birth From Fiery Sun OR Flying Into A Dark But Bright Future?

Is it the birth by fire of a new Fire Bird? Or a dark angel looming above, bringing misgivings? Or the power of dreams flying into a dark, monstrous, malevolent cloud formation -- just beyond which is the promise of pure light and brightness. And just beyond that, visions of God?

The thunder cloud's malevolence separated from the life-giving sun by the razor edge of hope and miracle. A possibility of coming out from storms into the light, however briefly, at least until the final sunset on a life of fantastic flights of fantasy.

Or a little bit of it all?

Smith Point Beach in Long Island, NY is a favorite place of mine to catch sunsets over expansive vistas of water. This time we were there ahead of time and I shot some pictures waiting for the sun to set.

As this bird came towards me, somewhat like the apparition of one Alexander the Great sees in the movie ALEXANDER, the silhouette came into focus. I clicked and snapped a mesmerizing image.

Welcome to Imran Anwar's IN MY HUMBLE OPINION

Good morning, and a Happy New Year. It is that time of year, when resolutions are made, and even implemented - at least for a while. For the last few days, I have been furiously working on a list of resolutions - from 1995. OK, I am exaggerating, but not by much. ;-)



It IS amazing how quickly time (and life) pass by, and so many of our plans, desires, resolutions, promises, etc. fall, or at least, drop, by the wayside, as the business of "stayin' alive" makes demands on our time. And that is so for those of us lucky enough to be "stayin' alive" - unlike the hundred(s) of thousands either killed or devastated by the twists of fates, from wars they did not start to tsunamis, from murderers to malaria-carrying mosquitoes, from HIV rolling over countries to lousy Ford SUVs rolling over.



So, more than anything else, I resolve to do the things that I know are important. Important enough, they HAVE to be done - to have made life worth living. Wish me luck, say a prayer, and read on .....



To paraphrase Jerry McGuire... Help me help ME to help me do those things by reading these pages I write, linking to them, sharing them with others and encouraging us all to communicate better, to understand better, to make our lives, and the world, a better place. Amen/Aameen. And, thank you.
