“There is a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in.” – Leonard Cohen, “Anthem” (1992)
Some days I find it hard to even find the cracks and then I read something or see a glimmer of light shining in the darkness. It brings a smile to my heart and reminds me to focus once more. Just for this very moment, I must focus and see that light of HOPE. Sometimes that sign of light is a bit upside down, like the reflection on the pond.
Sometimes it focuses on a story. It says, "Pay attention!"
And sometimes it speaks softly, like music in the ear or whisper of the wind.
This morning in my reading the words it spoke were "Hope and action feed each other." and through the struggle and despair we must find hope and grasp tightly to that concept. Though at times it will feel like a dream and not a reality, we must never let go. We must find the crack in the wall and focus on the light shining through. Can you see the light, the glimmer?
Sending love,

I'm looking for the glimmers. They are few and far between! But this is truly a lovely post!
ReplyDeleteThere is always light when we look for it. It might take a bit more effort these days, but it's there. Lovely post, Marilyn.
