This morning’s golden dawn animated autumn’s leaves, even those already on the ground. The feeling of fresh hope with a new day reminded me of the morning of my baptism, some 13 years ago. That was not in autumn, however, but in spring–was the slant of the sun similar or the leading of the Spirit?
Then at church Fr. John turned around and transformed Matthew 22:1-14, which ends in “weeping and gnashing of teeth.” In his sermon, this problematic Gospel passage became an affirmation of new life–beautiful to me as it resonated with my early reflections!
Photographers know how the slant of light changes everything. Today, 
as Jeff and I played tourist at the Landmark Center, I rediscovered this with my digital camera, as one image invites viewers into its depths, another appears flat as a theater set.
Today the sunlight and I held on as long as possible.

Allison, I wish you would add a subscription link so I could know when you updated. I love the idea of playing tourist at the Landmark Center.
