A Lovely Light


Even during the most difficult times I try to keep an eye out for the beautiful. This picture, taken by RIWXPhoto over at Weather Underground caught my eye this morning. I urge you to click on the link and see the photo full sized, it is worth the effort.

People ask about the miraculous, or seeing the hand of God: I say look around you, look up at the sky, down at the ground, feel the winds blowing so hard the trees crack and house moans. Go to the ocean and watch infinity wash up on the shore. Realize that the infinity of the ocean is finite, but to our small view, it might as well be infinite. The skeptic will see the cloud and the sun and the vapor trails making something pretty, but nothing miraculous. Let them see that.

I see a piece of beauty that was caught and recognized as a miracle just for me. Dare I go so far as to be poetic and call it a "woman clothed in the sun."
