A new haunt

Today was one of those gloriously foggy days, where simply breathing was invigorating, and where the mist settled in and gave everything a slightly mysterious air.  I needed to be outside.  

I found a new park.  I was the only one there.

As I walked, the whole world seemed to have turned black and white.

 

 

Then I turned the corner...

...and the world was color again.

  

I wish I had had my real camera with me, and not just my phone.   No photos, though, could really do it justice anyway...

The Gate of the Year

And I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year:
“Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown.”
And he replied:
“Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the Hand of God. That shall be to you better than light and safer than a known way.”
So I went forth, and finding the Hand of God, trod gladly into the night...

- Minnie Louise Haskins, "God Knows"

May we all tread gladly through the gate of this year, whatever uncertainty or adventure it may bring.

... And praise God that in His mercy, He holds tightly onto us even if we can't seem to find His hand ourselves.

Cheers.
