The sunrise this morning was a wonderous display of color. As I watched the sun announcing the new day, I felt so happy to be alive. At that time of morning, even the dogs were quiet as if every living soul was collectively holding its breath in awe-struck appreciation of a new creation, another perfect dawn, a new day, a gift from God. It was awesome, and I wondered…
I used to be afraid of the dark, but now it seems very peaceful and soothing, and lately I find myself called to spend more time within its beauty. Last night as I sat looking outside, enjoying the quiet of the night and the feel of the cool breeze, I saw something in the night sky flying towards me. At first there was a sense of unease because I could not figure out what it was, but just as it was about to pass over my house, I realized that it was a formation of white birds. It was amazing. They travelled in seemingly perfect harmony, not one bird out of place, each striving for the same goal, all on one predetermined path and I wondered….
I wondered, why? Why do we worry about tomorrow? Why do we fear the future? Why isn’t it enough to live in the now?
