..the sun..

THE SPIRAL JETTY


I woke up and the day was gray...and my heart was heavy with things that I knew had to be done today. It started with me going to court to support someone who needed to be there. I don't like court. Many people that came out of the court rooms were either crying or pissed. I didn't like the vibe of the place. I walked away with my heart heavier than before. Then I came back to work and needed to talk to some staff about their concerns. I listened and hopefully they felt heard. I really do have an amazing staff...but felt tired and drained soon after meeting with everyone.

Then I walked outside...and for a little while the sky was blue and the sun was shining. My heart and my environment had been gray the entire day...but that had all changed when I went outside and felt the warmth of the sun on my face. I felt whole and healed and loved.

I'm grateful for God, the gospel, His creations, the mountains, the sun, hope, music, laughter, good friends and family...and everything else that makes me happy.
