In the early morning, I usually work by the light of my computer screen. I find it to be an ugly light, but plenty to do emails and other such things in the dark. Of course, when I look away, I'm blind to what still lays in darkness beyond my door.
It's been such a busy couple of weeks and it proves to not be letting up. However, I had to stop today and ponder the spider that is running circles around my monitor. It's as if he is confused that there is light on one side, and complete darkness on the other. Something like the dark side of the moon.
We know it's there. But we have never from our place on earth viewed it. I have no desire to either. The moon is filling up and right now is close to the horizon. The color changes from incredible white to a soft orange, cheesy looking color. Beautiful none the less.
Our snow has nearly disappeared. It's a good thing. For the first time in years and years, there is water in front of our house and has been all winter long. It never really froze, so there was no ice skating on it... or even snowshoeing for that matter.
I haven't written for a least a week. Didn't do much cooking over the weekend, however, we did eat some girl scout cookies... not a good diet, but it is that time of year.
Today I have faith, even if for only a moment, good solid faith that everything will be the way it is supposed to be. There's a plan out there and we are all part of it, even that crazy spider that made me stop for a moment and ponder.... are we like that little eight-legged arachnid that seems to be lost? Confused about where the light is coming from? Or maybe confused about the darkness surrounding the light. It's a cute little creature and I'm sure not poisonous - but could pack a bite. I'm going to allow it to live. I'm thinking once the beautiful sunshine pours through the window, he will move on. Or she, I can't tell.
It's going to be a wonderfully beautiful February day. We'll lose more snow to the thirsty earth in preparation for spring and gardens and farmers markets and CSAs and lots of work to do until the end of school. God bless your day today. Get outside. Enjoy.
