Light is All Around Me: A Singular Thing

Quote

But this is what I’m finding, in glimpses and flashes: this is it. This is it, in the best possible way.

That thing I’m waiting for, for that adventure, that movie-score-worthy experience unfolding

gracefully. This is it. Normal, daily life ticking by on our streets and sidewalks, in our houses and

apartments, in our beds and at our dinner tables, in our dreams and prayers and fights and

secrets - this pedestrian life is the most precious thing any of us will ever experience.

Standing ‘neath
the open sky

at night,

Starlight

soon draws my eye

and I gaze up.

I feel so small

and yet

At Center

of it all.

God made the stars

for all mankind,

But also made

the stars to shine

on One Face

in One Place—

Each man the purposed end

of all creation.
