My street is showing off right now, what with a full lake of crystal water and trees that are in their autumn prime. It's beautiful in a way I've never noticed before, peaceful and cool in a way I've never really desired but definitely appreciate. There is so much heaviness in our families lives right now, so many unknowns and heartache ahead, and the fact that there's little to nothing for me to fix weighs heavy on my heart. But there was this moment on my morning walk, and it was nothing significant and not at all earth shattering, but the beauty of the earth felt so refreshing and bright and tears filled my eyes--sad and happy, heavy and light. There's still nothing I can do, except maybe share this photo--this small second on a long day--and hope that Mother Nature can offer a moment of reprieve to others like she so gracefully offered me.
