The Seeker's Path

It happened again—twice in a week! I have to catch this teaching!! I walked outside for my early morning walk, and I found myself enveloped by fog. Last week the fog was even denser! But today’s fog was equally mysterious and compelling.

This morning as I did my early morning walk, there was the slightest snowfall. After a winter of many snowstorms and frigid weather, there was something so remarkably gentle about this soft-falling snow that it literally stopped me in my tracks several times…

On Christmas day I was reading the Christmas readings for midnight, dawn, and daytime liturgies. Something I have read for many years stopped me in my tracks.

Ahhhhh! Every once in a while, I do this! Sweep my calendar clear!! Clearing a day of any duty, chores, responsibilities—sweeping away all the catch-up jobs, the endless lists of cleaning and sorting. . .

Out walking this morning on a cool crisp autumn morning, I was noticing ABUNDANCE in nature. There were not just a few acorns, from trees that were pummeled in July when four tornadoes tore through Cleveland’s West Side—but a vast production of acorns.
