Sweet Peace...

Sweet is the peace and serenity of the early morning before before anything makes a harsh sound or shakes the morning dew; two deer feed along the woodland path, and a brown leaf or two floats down from the trees. Though it is early, Autumn seems to begin and the cool quiet morning mists soothe the spirit.

Human spirits need a lift now and then. But it is not the things outside a person that turn on the light or heal the soul. Only the heart can do that. The heart is the core, a place where words, beliefs, and images are stored. Life springs from this place and rejects the darkness, no matter how many times it presents itself.

Be like the flower that opens to the light and closes when touched by darkness. The choice is yours -- the darkest night cannot touch the bloom that will not open to it.
