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!
