I know that part of trying to live life in a state of grace is about acceptance and not taking things personally. Summer has not been what most of us expected, me included. The light has been gray, mostly and overcast with cloud, and it has rained and rained. I miss the sun. Can I admit that? I miss its energy and life-affirming warmth. Will it come again? Perhaps autumn will be brighter, or winter might be mild with clear days. We can only hope and remain open to it. This is what has been brought to us. And as a result there is still so much green. Be thankful. Water is precious.
