Well, friends, I know it's been a long time since I have posted. My only excuse is that I just have not had it in me to do so. So much happening in the world that has not been anything but unexpected, tragic, horrific, unimaginable and unexplainable. I have been stopped in my tracks with nothing to say that would seem appropriate to the circumstances, or worse, would appear preachy or condescending.
So, I do what I have always done when I feel helpless, alone and angry with the world. I go to nature. I take walks. Today I let myself enjoy the changing of the seasons. I marveled at how the squirrels just know it is time to start gathering for the hard winter ahead. They are hardwired for it. They don't question it, worry about it... they just transition. I took a picture of a lovely holly bush with its still green berries and looked forward to returning to see the red blush turn to scarlet. The holly follows the sun and bends to its will effortlessly.
So, amidst all the things around me that cause me worry, the darkness around me that seems to grow ever stronger, I must bend to the light, trust it... and remember the promise of color that is sure to come again.
Praying for all those in Texas, Florida, Mexico, Puerto Rico and Las Vegas.
