The sun sits still for me

February 26 – The pastoral text of Fr Reuter is this: If you stay still and quiet, you will see the strength of God in the white waves breaking over the rocks. You will see the beauty in the sunset.

Father, I’m one who can’t sit still. But at least, I have learned to look at the waves and the rocks and the sunsets and the sunrises and the smelly trash bags dangling by the gate where you have to pass through, and I have learned to accept completely what life has to offer, or prefer not to offer. I also discovered something about sunrises and sunsets – they’re lovelier to look at when you capture them in photographs. That’s when they sit still for you. The one you’re looking at is a sunrise forever.
