Work work work

Been helping out at the church today.  My what a busy place.  This is the first break of the day.  Well that's the way you want a church to be.  Stood out in the hall and heard voices from five different directions. Had a work break... and another.  Doesn't slow down much.  Thanks be to God.

Windowless rooms

Windowless Rooms and Light

The day ended with a small cluster of reddish light. The windows filtered the last rays of the sun and set them shimmering against the far wall, a blessing from the dying day. I was thankful for the day (and for its ending) and also for the windows, through which the light passed. A windowless room is a bane. Windows are chinks in the walls, letting in the brilliance of the greater world.

'In truth, O blessed God, there are occasions, in this sense laden universe, when the purer light of heaven shines through, and we may see and rejoice in a greater Glory, beyond this world. When we see the light slanting through our own windows at evening, we think thoughts like that.  And so we thank you, Creator God, for windows and light and your love, a shining reality, personal, true. Blessed are You, King of Kings and Lord of Lords, and blessed is Your revealing to Your children.'
