There Is a Light Within You
Meister Eckhart’s Book of Darkness & Light
I’ve said many things, but at the heart
of them all is this: There is a light
within you, in your soul, uncreated
and uncreatable; it simply is.
If you wish to know yourself,
look for this light in the dark;
it is ever present, even when
you’ve lost sight of it. Look
away from what you think
you are, and look deeper into
the darkness that is within.
There you’ll find that light
which is ever present,
even if no one – not
even you – notices.
We have a lovely fall day with blue skies and sunshine. Will meet my friend Larry for lunch and conversation. Thanks for all who have let me know what they are finding with this new theme. Much appreciated.

This image was taken this past summer at Pineridge Natural Area. I have a lovely series of this sunrise sequence over a 30 minute period. Have a wonderful day!

A beautiful daybreak, It lasts but a moment but inspires all day. It makes you feel alive, doesn’t it?

Yes, it does make a person feel alive. It has a wonderful way of inspiring me at some depth. Have a wonderful day!
