Daybreak White Horses, Jamestown, NC
All of life is a circle.
Every aspect of time and our own life cycle circles around. Perhaps that’s why there is a foreboding
sense when the chilling temperatures and winds of fall descend on the earth. If the chill in the air hadn’t caught my
attention, the surreal scene as I passed by a local lake at daybreak certainly
was cause to pause. The cool
temperatures passing over the remnants of warm summer waters stirred white
horses to rise up and gallop over the still surface.
Perhaps at this particular time of the year, all creation
serves as a reminder that this life not only has beginnings but also endings
for every living organism and even every material object. It reminds us to strive to live wisely and
with a positive intention so that our lives matter and we won’t squander a
priceless opportunity. The imminent
fallow time of winter on the horizon reminds us to live a life that will enable
us to look back on the winter of our life and not be sad because it’s over, but
to smile because it happened.
