Every time we have Northern Lights visible over most of North America, here in San Diego the solar storms cause one or both of these phenomena: clouds and fog. It's incredible – it covers the whole firmament! Yet whenever I show pictures of these wonders to others, they always seem… unimpressed. :-|

Henry Nouwen (1932·1996) & Fred Rogers (1928·2003), also Mister Rogers, became good friends c. 1984. They encouraged, corresponded, and phoned each other often.

Reflection: I think we all appreciate some kind of beauty, and I hope we all have some sense of wonder. Since I've become familiar with the BCP (Book of Common Prayer) I have been finding much of both there. Some lines I pray a bit louder, and some, I admit, a bit choked up.

And I know You bore our sorrows
And I know You feel our pain
And I know that it would not hurt any less
even if it could be explained
And I know that I am only lashing out
at the One who loves me most
This is the very first song by Mullins I listened to, a modern Psalm!
