We think of the harvest as coming when the apples are ripe in the fall, but apple blossoms provide their own kind of harvest, in ephemeral moments of beauty.
What moment of joy or beauty have you harvested recently?
Light the Way
Although the winter solstice falls in December (for those in the Northern Hemisphere), it never really feels like the days grow longer and the light brighter until well into the new year. As winter wears on it becomes ever more important to notice the places of brightness, and to create those places where we can.
How will you find or shed a little extra light today?
Under the Pier
When we walk on a bridge or pier we see the “right side,” the side designed for traffic, the side meant to be exposed to the world. But what holds us up is the unseen underside, the structure that makes the rest possible.
What beliefs are so foundational for you that you rarely think about them?
You’ve Got Mail
This mailbox looks as if it’s been waiting for the mail to come for some time, with deliveries, perhaps, few and far between.
What have you waited and hoped for the longest?
Human Salvation
“The salvation of this human world lies nowhere else than in the human heart, in the human power to reflect, in human meekness and human responsibility.”
–Vaclav Havel
What have you seen lately that gives you faith in the possibility that humans could save “this human world”?
