Surpassing Beauty

The pond is breathtaking tonight. I mean, it literally took my breath away when I walked in a few minutes ago.

The night sky is the color of india ink, a blue so deep it would catch you if you fell. White clouds lost from a summer afternoon roil by, luminous in the moonlight. A thousand geese paddle, black shadows on black water. Every movement produces shimmering silver trails.

Glory streams from heaven afar.

God's presence here is as real as my own. Yesterday I asked for peace. This, then, is the answer.

In the words of Juliana of Norwich,
All shall be well. And all shall be well. And all manner of things shall be exceedingly well.
