Sorry to miss you last week. I lost my voice and energy courtesy of a health malady that kept me close to the couch . During my seclusion I was blessed by a 20 inch snowfall that blanketed my urban neighborhood  and  gave the city a long winter’s nap. I can’t remember a time when my main focus was getting well and not much else.  I canceled all commitments and was amazed how liberating it all was despite being ill.
 

The day that I got sick a friend had blessed me with the gift of a long phone call; during the week e-mails arrived from people I had met while traveling and working at Habitat for Humanity; phone calls came from family and friends; chicken soup and prayers were offered; in short, I was well cared for and loved in numerous ways.

Today’s image is a photograph of a glass partition in a restaurant that has been around for many years overlooking the Denver area.  It somehow reminds me of what I  re-discovered this week.  Even though we can’t see clearly what lies beyond the glass, there are beautiful “drops” of love that we receive  and can give in “the present” that can change a life.
