I don't know about you for certain, but perhaps you too feel the sense of amazement I do over the clouds above on a winter's day like today. Cool and crisp, I like the way the air feels on my face as I walk the dogs or make my way downtown. The sky seems to be expressing the passions of the universe. You must know what I mean. An overcast day: the weather seems to be calling me to go inward, reflect on the things that really make life worth living. It is a time to hunker down, to wear warm, knitted garments to keep you snug against the elements.
As you may notice, I tend think deeper thoughts on days like today. Maybe it is just me, but I truly believe God wants us to look inside, at least now and then, if not more often, just to keep in touch with the wonder of Nature and the world around us. I tend to think about the meaning of life, what's really afoot in all the upheaval in the world and how fragile and brief life really is. And I take note.It is truly awe-inspiring to me is that, even with the skies covered with grey and the looming of a storm, and that even when the heavens seem to open up and threaten to wash us all away or cover us in a white blanket of snow, there is beyond the clouds the eternal blue sky.
Its gonna be a good day. It can be every day as long as we remember that there is a blue sky beyond the clouds and some call it heaven, some, the universe. I call it the promise of life and love and the connection to all that is truly holy.
This day, like all days, was made for us to live into. Who are we to waste it?
