Lean into The Light
The flower and the field lean
to the light
Obstacles and adverse times bespeak the need to lean in.
Quickly scan and we see all of nature leaning to light,
growth and glory.
The Hosta leaning more than the others for the light till blossoming.
The Tiger Lily leaning toward the bright sunshine in sunset-like color palette.
The umbrella shielding- soaking it up to shelter
Both reflecting light
The petunias in the window box forever growing out and up toward the light
Windows brimming with color and life
The foxglove tall and grand
Toxic but helpful for the heart that beats broken
Array of friends variety of reasons that give light and make the soul alive
How do we soak in the light from others and also be a light for them
Light giving life
the daisy knows it
the moon knows it too
reflecting the Sun's light, making it appear bright in our sky
So we give and receive this reviving light, we give it freely
Lean back, we do
and we consider it all
In the middle of a Wheat field thistles grow, both so textured and beautiful colors
The milling process, life itself
grain is cleaned, tempered, ground, sifted and separated, purified and on to sifting into a variety of flours
Just like this daily life we purpose on,
creating our lives and space, in the middle, in the tension and shaking
to breathe in and be stunning
“Consider the lilies of the field and how they grow….their garments are stunning .And think about grassy fields —God adorns them so radiantly.
Lean into The Light
