I saw the most beautiful sunrise over Lake Michigan this morning!
I often see the sunrise, but the colors and the flat water were exceptional today. I was walking my dog, Akiba, and watching the sun come up. We walked behind an area where there were some large boulders. I could see the sun, which had risen above the boulders, and part of this narrow path of light on the water. But, I couldn’t see this path of light completely. It was amazingly stunning over the flat water and I wanted to line up with it. So, I quickly walked past the boulders hoping that when I got around them I would sill be in line with this amazing ray of light. When I was on the other side of the boulders, I still was in complete alignment with this ray of light. In fact, as I continued to walk, I would remain in complete alignment with the ray.
This made me realize a few things. We are always on “the path”! No matter how it looks or where we are, we are always moving along “the path”. And when obstacles appear, it doesn’t mean that we are off “the path”. It just means that we cannot see “the path” completely. But rest assured, we are still there! If you look past the obstacles, you can still see the way to the Sun or Source. And if you move a bit (shift your perspective) the path becomes much clearer.
Not bad for one sunrise, eh? That’s one check mark on the list of miracles that I ALLOWED myself to receive today!
How does it get better than this?
There’s nothing better than a sunrise over Lake Michigan, in my book.
Thanks for these thoughts. I had some disturbing dreams last night and awoke this morning feeling a little out of touch. Sounds like I need a good walk along the lake, too!
Take care.
Hi Fred! Went to your meetup for this month and had a great time listening to everyone.
Just wanted to say that I had the same realization except it was while I was viewing the full moon on lake michigan! I realized too while watching someone else wade in the water that while it seemed that they weren’t in the light, they certainly were for themselves, meaning, even if it doesn’t LOOK like it, EVERYONE is on the path!
Anyway, thanks again for the great meetup and your bracelet which led me to your wonderful site.
