High Light

Letter 4536

Bright rays rising over a high mountain path

I walked up the mountain path, higher, higher toward the summit. The light around me changed in character — warm yellows around my home, bright, cool blue at upper altitudes.

The strength of the light up there was overwhelming. Yet as much as I was vanquished, I also was filled with life.

❖

Now, descending back to my home and nearby village, I offer new strength to those I meet. The battle with light left me more alive than before.

I have more to give, Lord. Let me give.

Consider:

Can I give thanks to your overwhelming force?
