MEDITATION FOR JANUARY 5

I believe in “Light” supremacy

Sitting in church I see

His light forming a mosaic

On the walls by the alter

It is coming through the

Stained glass window

It, like us, changes by the minute

And without notice, it disappears as

The clouds cover the sun’s rays

The “Light” is supreme

It will overcome all darkness.

Our time on this earth is limited

The “Light” will remain

Forever and the wise will

Seek it out and be purified and

Warmed by its rays

A GRAY COLD MORNING

The day starts early

And its palette is gray

The trees are black

The snow is white

Clouds and water

The various shade of gray

The waves are half-frozen

And their symphony has

Changed dramatically

Their shoreline is made

Of frozen snow and water

The location is two football

Fields away and the music is dull

Some of us were looking for

Something lifting, removing

Us from grief and now we

Have hope that the sun will

Do its work later in the day

We know we must move forward

But do not have to lose the past

When the mind works, something

Ten years or twenty years old

That happened is still happening

Old laughs are current laughs

Stories are fresh and happy

Thoughts wrote in the past

Few months and years shed

Light on this new day and

A deeper degree of love

Develops and gives us a

Degree of remorse that

Could not exist before the reading

Precious thoughts are offered

Enduring love is offered by many

We are thankful for so much support

Even as the trembling and tears continue

There is no way to go back and talk

Our minds will hold the memories

And all the truths that know

Step by step with the father’s help

We will find peace from her journey
