Much is being said about Hurricane Issac landing on the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. It is also the aniversary of "Tropical Storm Irene" landing in Vermont. We were trapped on our mountain for 3 weeks. Thousands of people lost everything. The landscape was devastated.
And yet this morning, as Issac approaches our new home in St. Louis, I walked in the park by the Arch at sunrise. The clouds were just above the horizon and that small sliver of sky was a brilliant pink. It even reflected onto the silver Arch. Color and beauty and majesty were overwhelming for just a few minutes.
Nature shows us the "power and the glory..."--in the good times and the bad. I can make no sense of it but I pray to be aware-acutely aware.
What might you be more aware of today?
Blessings-Penny
