A Flame ~


"sometimes
our light goes
out
 but
it is blown
into flame

 by
another
human being
 each of us
owes
deepest thanks
to those
who have rekindled
this light"
Albert Schweitzer
~ ~ ~
"Here's another way
to put it:
You're here to be light
bringing out the God-colors
in the world.
God is not a secret
to be kept."
Matthew 5:14

I'm deeply grateful for your own special light, Susan.

What an interesting impression you get from the angle in the next to last image, as if a dark curtain slowing were being pulled away and opening into hot white light.

I love the way you let scripture
speak and sing to you from
every nook and cranny of this
beautiful planet
....and then you share it in the
most delightfully creative ways.
Just like your Father:)
