Light and Shade II

Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you.
(Maori Proverb)

The windows of my soul I throw
Wide open to the sun.
(John Greenleaf Whittier)

I was sitting in a cafe reluctantly preparing to lead my church group later in the day. It was grey and snowing outside, and dull and dimly lit inside. Even the flowers looked gloomy. Suddenly the sun burst in through the window lighting and warming the room and creating this glorious splash across the wall and flowers. What a ray of hope!

It may feel distant at the moment, but at least it is sun!
