Whatever good we do,
Whatever kindness or hospitality we provide,
Will cast a larger shadow
Than we may ever see or realize.

Sleet began falling yesterday morning as the temperatures outside dropped into the teens. By afternoon, the sleet had turned to snow, and this morning I woke to a silent world, blanketed in white. It’s now midday, but everyone seems to be staying indoors, and the quiet continues. At the end of a busy, noisy week, this interlude of stillness and peace is welcome.

“Stop walking in your own shadow
wallowing in your foolish thoughts.
Raise your head . . . walk
among the flowers . . .
look toward the sun.”
