Light Within

View from My Window

Wednesday, Dec 7, 2005

This morning the sun rose and then immediately sought refuge behind the blue-gray clouds. It is cold, 30 degrees but it seems much colder. There is a winter’s grayness about. The lake is perfectly still and reflects the dull gray of the day. Yet it is a beautiful morning. It says “stay inside”. Make for yourself warmth and coziness. Seek light from within yourself for today will be gray and gloomy without. Today is a day for reflection and meditation.

Almost all color is gone from the trees; made more evident by the lack of sunlight. When I lack the “sunlight” within, I too lack luster.

We are learning so much here at Stepping Stones; the name I chose for our place. When first we came, we were going to change things here in the country in East Texas. We were going to shape up these people and teach them the ways of city life. How utterly foolish!...for it was that very life from which we were trying to escape. Now we are trying more and more to be like chameleons fitting in with our new environment.
