Advent

This beautiful photo is by my cousin Judy Saunders. It's of a Danish designed lamp. Yes it is.

“My” freight train (hah) is at the end of our block. The track is raised in this part of town so that it can cross our street on a bridge. Our street is one of only two ways to get into or out of Waukesha if a train is slow or stuck. When we hear a lot of car traffic, we know something is up.

 Most of us, when we think about looking for light (if we think about it at all) sort of assume it means looking for light in nature. We consider sunrise and sunset, the way light makes it’s way over the earth.

But we humans also work and play with light. We arrange messages for each other when we parse down light and then put it back together.

Hah, I have two announcements.

1. I was surprised and happy that several of you responded to my Saturday Mindful Chicklens post. I didn’t really think many people were reading them, but you are! Cool!
