"The gloom of the world is but a shadow.
Behind it, yet within our reach, is joy. Take joy!"
Fra Giovanni (1513 A.D.)

Take joy... yes, that is exactly what we need to do. We must reach out for it -- because in the same way we catch a glimpse of a stunning sunset peeking out from behind darkened clouds and trees, the joy we long for -- and need -- is right there too.
I took this photo at sunset one summer evening as storm clouds gathered. The combo of light and dark, black against fiery reds, was breath-taking.

ReplyDeleteRocked my sweet baby girl on the front porch today during a lovely spring rain. She was cuddled under a blanket with her tiny hand curled around my finger. Joy:)
