~ a pondering ~

I like slow mornings. Sipping my maple syrup coffee, eating my crunchy peanut butter and honey toast, and dreamily staring through my slider as the sun greets me with a beautiful hello.

Recently, I was quite enchanted with its glorious greeting and wanted to share…

Glancing up from my morning reading, I saw just the part of the above picture beneath the tree branches. The gentle fog was lifting, and it looked like a bright spotlight highlighting center stage. Maybe that was on my mind as I’m currently taking a musical theatre dance class. Either way, it was glorious. I grabbed my phone to step outside and saw an even fuller picture. The stage, the spotlight. The necessary darkness in order to experience the beauty of the light.

A few days later I was in my usual seat and saw the sun shining through the tree branches once again. This time, the rays cut sharply giving an appearance like the Star of Bethlehem. Each line cutting into a different dimensional field: up and down, right and left, forward and behind — creation’s tri-fecta.

I walked outside, but I couldn’t quite see what I had seen from the inside. Shooting the picture through the screen actually helped — it seemed to cut the light into lines. Interesting that something that I thought would be in the way was actually the very thing that helped me see the scene that drew my attention.

Might life be like this? Maybe we best appreciate the ups because we’ve been through the downs. Maybe we need both for understanding. Might they work in relation to one another? Two sides, one coin. Called the earthly experience.

How might things be different if I learned to embrace whatever comes my way as a learning lesson for my soul’s development? God has taught me and continues to teach me so much through the glory of creation – whether is be by light or by darkness. What a gift — these moments of stillness, solitude, and silence. The present — here and now.

Ah, I feel such love and peace in the atmosphere!

Which reminds me of a light drawing photograph I created quite a few years ago. So I’ll end with that — the idea of God’s passion for all of creation, which includes each one of us, you and me. It’s a pure and unconditional … “Love on Fire”
