Day two of a heat wave.
Venetian blinds darken my bedroom. Fans whirl in a window. A breeze caresses my bare feet.
I should be editing photos in my office. Instead I'm laying around.
My eyes focus on the wall. A peel of paint has expanded. Why haven't I gotten rid of that eyesore? Other priorities are taking up my time.
Elsewhere on the wall, a crucifix catches my attention. What about those priorities? Are they pleasing to God?
I wonder if God uses extremes of weather to encourage contemplation? Resting in the shade provides a respite from our toils. It's an ideal time to ponder the purpose and direction of our life.
Consider these words by Mother Teresa: 'We need to find God and He can not be found in noise and restlessness.'
