This is the display that greeted me the other day on my way to work. It was just another moment of beauty that transcended my typical daily routine. It reminded me of what Sheldon Vanauken says in his book, A Severe Mercy, "To be in love, as to see beauty, is a kind of adoring that turns the lover away from self."
Stillness, Is often forgotten. In a culture, a world that never stops, We many times cease to pause. Yet we are met with moments that beckon us. Like the quiet calm of morning After a night-long snow. The world finally takes a deep breath, And all angst softly falls away. I can do nothing more than to stand in awe, Of the glory that is our present day.
