Living on a hilltop..I often watch the cloudy shadows swimming over our town and it always strikes me..how beautiful it looks from above! The inter-play of light and dark reveals things in the landscape..things which are hidden from the eye when there is only light, or only dark covering it. And there's always a feeling of triumph and a certain lifting of the spirit when the sun highlights something I've never "seen" before..though I look at the same vista every day. A perpetual visual lectio.. right before my eyes!
I like this, Nancy, and I also like that, if we're walking in the right direction, we can see glimpses of light through the shadows.
ReplyDeleteIt's such a beautiful picture, too :-)
Vicky, I love the thought of our being able to see glimpses of light through the shadows. Thank you!
