Be Still

"Then Jesus got up and rebuked the wind and said to the waves, 'Quiet! Be still!' Then the wind died down and it was completely calm." Mark 4:39

With Spring back peddling again this morning (-7 and "flurious" here in Kitchener so far today), I thought I'd remind myself, and anyone else out there who needs it, that warmer summer days are coming.

Right about now I really start to miss my kayak. Sigh.

Never mind. I have an unusually clear Tuesday ahead of me, and am hoping to make the best of it, all snug and hunkered down with a happy plethora of tasks competing for my attention. And even though today I am in the city on a workday, it's not so unlike looking out over the bow across glass-flat waters first thing in the morning on my meditative way around the island.

In these days of "flurious" uncertainty on so many fronts, let's stay focused on the work that's before us, and keep reminding each other of the simple goodness of life. We do have agency. How we contribute really matters. We're in this together. And we know Who we have with us in the boat.

Wishing you a flat-water Tuesday.
