Sometimes, in the midst
of unspeakable darkness, the message that comes, like a beacon of light, is
"all is well". It seems paradoxical to me, to think this way
when I cannot see a path forward, but I have a sense that, to affirm this in
all circumstances, is empowering. To stand when I feel like giving up, to
find that courage and hope can emerge when I ask for Divine help and then, to
discover a wellspring of peace within my own being, are all blessed assurances that I am not alone.
I have
help, from somewhere… a Being that I call God, who has many names, but who
stands with us in the darkness and is our hope.
This
morning, stepping outside, I ground to the earth, drink in the pink and purple
sky of sunrise and give thanks for the gift of life. I see that today will be
sunny and my winter weary body rejoices in this small blessing. I affirm again,
that all is well in this moment.
Today, may we open our eyes to see
