    The Sunbeam

    From a late afternoon walk at Pineridge Natural Area

    “We usually miss You, cluttering our minds with expectations about where and how and who You are, but if we trust giving up our seeking and let ourselves know You in everything that is, even what’s concealed from us, we come to find You everywhere, at all times and in an equal way, no matter how strange this might seem to us.”

    Meister Eckhart’s Book of Secrets

    I believe the above is written from the perspective that You is referring to God. Even though the author is Christian his concept of You is not confined to a box but goes way beyond that. His You is not an object or deity. I also feel that way. I find it interesting to reread this and each time replace the word You with God, Love, Reality, Great Spirit, Compassion, Beauty, Nature, Creator, Truth, Justice, Peace, Serenity… and none of these are objects or material things. Thanks for listening…

    Love Everyone

    “… as we learn to love ourselves for who we truly are, we cannot but love everyone else in the same manner.”

    Book of Secrets

    This mornings image is the full moon setting over Horsetooth Dam. The red/orange glow of the eastern sunrise adds to the image. The skies are clear and blue but it is still cold.

    I had a scare yesterday as my X-T3 would not see or format an SD card in slot one. I panicked thinking the camera had already failed me but it turned out to be the SD card. I then realized the cards I have are about 6 years old. Ordered four more cards this morning.

    As the quote says, my wish is that more people would learn to love themselves. Seems there would be less hatred in the world.
