Shadows and Light

BEHIND EVERY SHADOW OF LIFE
IS THE GREAT LIGHT OF GOD.

Paramahansa Yogananda

Of Note: We have a whole catelogue of photos from Marie's recent trip to Big Bend in Texas that will be flooding these pages in the coming months. Each is more lovely than the next. Thanks for sharing them, Marie! This quote is from www.gratefulness.org, Word For the Day, April 26th. It's easy to sign up to get your own delivered daily.

Today's Weather Report: A friend emailed today and said how weird our weather has been here lately. That's an understatement. The ice went out on the lake yesterday, finally, over two weeks late. It was 28 degrees this morning and cloudy. Even the daffodils, usually in bloom by now, are taking a pass until later.

DARKEST BEFORE THE DAWN

No one would argue that we are in a time of change. Most would also agree that this is a time of drastic, maybe even a time of accelerating change. Some would say "Yeah, but it is certainly not in the right direction." This group might call themselves realists; some might say pessimists.

While others, probably a minority, would say, "Hum, you know, it's always darkest before the dawn. But, the light is already starting to shine through in a place or two." This latter group, too, might call themselves realists; some might say optimists. Others might just call them dreamers, idealists or worse, just plain stupid.

The challenge on this blog is to watch for change that tracks the second premise. Given time, I feel certain that we will see a story unfold in the next decade that may be startling in its simplicity--even though the happenings of the times might look otherwise.

THE GREAT INVOCATION

From the point of Light
within the Mind of God,
Let Light stream forth into the minds of men,
Let Light descend on earth.

From the Point of Love
within the Heart of God,
Let Love stream forth into the hearts of men,
May Christ return to earth.

From the center where
the Will of God is known,
Let purpose guide the little wills of men,
The purpose which the Masters know and serve.

From the center which
we call the race of men,
Let the Plan of Love and Light work out,
And may it seal the door where evil dwells.

Let Light, Love and Power
restore the Plan on earth.

This prayer was given to us in 1945 as a promise that the Age of Peace is coming but the timing is up to Humanity. Millions say it daily. You can join this invocative appeal and, what's more, it's free. Check out http://www.lucistrust.org/ or www.thegreatinvocation.blogspot.com for more information.
