One thing I am acutely aware of in these different times is how little nature seems to be affected.  The sun still rises and sets.  The birds still sing in the morning. The plants are still growing. The wind is still moving the air. The earth knows its spring but we find ourselves not so sure. I like to think that the same ardor with which the birds greet a new day lives in each of us and always has.  We are not separate from this whole system in which we live.  I think we are now more attuned to how interconnected we are.  The ever-changing and movement of nature can be our angels at this time. When I am out walking in the morning I hear the birds sing as if to say, “Aren’t you excited?  It’s morning!  The light came up again!”  It may seem like dark times but the ardor with which we can choose to embrace the light as soon as it appears can be a guide to us as we are faced with what seems like continual darkness in our days.  God invites us to connect with the ardor for life which lives within us. It is the hope and trust that even though the day is darkest before the dawn, the next thing is the dawn.  Tapping into our heart space gives us access to the ardor needed to fuel the ability to show up for whatever comes as we walk through our days.
