Yesterday, while leaving a friend’s house, I put my hand around the edge of the door and encountered something surprising and marvelous. The brass lock on the door was warm. It was warm from the sun. It was so surprising after the winter that I pulled my hand back hastily and had to search a bit to figure out the explanation.

Although not a snowy winter, it’s been a cold one. It was lovely to go outside and bask for just a bit and to exclaim over flowers making their way out of hibernation. That’s our assignment as well. Time to let the changing seasons coax those Peace dreams out of stasis. Let’s blossom. Because the other thing the sun will do is illuminate the places desperately in need of Love and Healing. Beauty can help. Let’s do what we can to bring Beauty to this world.
