Drizzled Light...

I can still hear the sounds of the riggers chiming in the soft breeze against their metal mast, the wet clapping kiss of the docks and the seagulls singing their hinging warble.  I remember looking down into the dark water.  The big reflections didn't catch my attention as much as the smaller ones that seemed like drizzled colors of light.  Thin ribbons of fragile light drawn momentarily on the dark moving canvas-

These spontaneous patterns coming from perfectly ordinary and even still objects were made beautiful by the undulating flow of salt water and sunlight.


"Be still and know I am God."

These reflections did not strive to make something beautiful or be something they were not but in the sunlight and water they became something they could not even imagine.

Think how that is also true in our life as we trust in God.

"Be still, and know that I am God! I will be honored by every nation. I will be honored throughout the world. " Psalm 46:10
