The Fog
Note: The following was written by Jean Brown, Providence Associate, after arriving to Saint Mary-of-the-Woods during the morning of Wednesday, Feb. 22
Saint Mother Theodore Guerin in the fog.
This morning brought a gentle fog to begin our day
Our loving Mother Earth giving to us a veil
The things we know are there just beyond our sight
are still there … we just need to have faith.
Saint Michael in the fog.
The fog drapes herself over everything
Light and dewy, a slight breeze can move her
or sometimes so thick she refuses to remove
herself until she is ready … or the sun wins.
What is beyond us is yearning to be seen
And our hearts match that yearning
But our minds block the path

Plan for your future!
Leave the things you value to the people and purposes you value most.

Beautiful reflection of not only the fog of nature but the fog of our faith. Thank you, Jean!
Jean, your poetry is so meaningful to me. Keep using this avenue for your thoughts to be shared. Mary
Jean,
Keep writing and sharing! I love your sensitive insights.
Absolutely breathtaking!
So grateful for your sharing, Jean. The fog on 2/22/17 at SMW was what Londoners call “pea soup thick!” Your pix and words captured so well the “groping” that all of us often have to do and the joy we get when the phenomenon dissipates and light breaks through. Thanks for helping us see more clearly.
So lovely and evocative I read it twice and will read it again.
So lovely and evocative I read it twice and posted to my time line to read again.
Thank you, Jean. You put words on the thoughts of my heart.
My lovely sister, Jean, once again opens my mind and heart to be willing to accept all that are His wonders – thanks, Sis!
