Photography and Poem By Ed Kuhlman

Brightness is being: Adam and Eve in the sandbox; a foreshadowing of the connectedness you see in life Living in service to others, when your only reward may be a simple smile that may be their only way to speak Interest in a larger world of people as yet unmet, places as yet unseen, and ideas, (ideas, not things) as yet unthought Visualizing what could be in a world at peace with itself and its Creator Energy and enthusiasm to greet tomorrow as a tabula rasa, a new canvas to splash with brightness the colors of your life
