Sisters of the Presentation of Mary

Autumn is a time to honor the abundance and bounty of the earth. As we look at the harvest moon we know that gathering the crops is getting near. Do you also notice that there is dust in the air.....grain dust!

A couple weeks ago, I confided in a friend of a decision I struggled with.  Nothing seemed clear in discerning which course of action to take.  I prayed, I sought counsel, I researched, but still, I felt conflicted.  My experience and rationale could only carry me so far, and I struggled to trust the wisdom of others.  It reminded me of that scripture passage, of being “tossed about like waves in the sea.”

Every night
The horizon lights up
Swirls of pink and orange
Fading to blue and purple

Few bother to look anymore
At a blessing
That only comes once a day
