A blessing for these aspen-golden days
May you find yourself in a “thin place” between heaven and earth,
where the goodness and peace and delight of the new creation isn’t that hard to imagine,
where the eternal can be seen, smelled, heard, tasted, touched, shared,
where Light and Life and Beauty are proved to be truest, realest thing, making everything look like grace, and pain and darkness and hopelessness the impostor whose time grows short.
May you find a leaf so spectacular that you can’t help but bend low to pick it up and carry it home, cupped in your hands.
