The Majestic Heavens

By Avis Veronica Simmonds

As a Retiree, I am enjoying life each day with a thankful and humbled heart. I keep writing so that my children and children’s children will be inspired to write their words of inspiration to uplift their fellowmen of their generation.
This book, The Majestic Heavens, came out of my love for nature to include the sky above or the Heavens. I became captivated with the formation of clouds, especially when I take to the sky flying in airplanes. I have seen some of the most captivating clouds up above and flown through those captivating clouds. On one of my flights, I saw the formation of a church’s steeple and was mesmerized. This love affair with the clouds have been for many years and I finally decided to share the beauty of the Heavens with my friends and on social media and realized that not too many people stopped to observe or chase the heavenly clouds. Therefore, the birth of this my eighth book.
Please enjoy and take the time to look up and see the Majestic Heavens with awesome formations of Clouds towering over our amazing Earth we call our home. There is beauty within us, around us and above us.
