The cloudy and blue-patched sky this morning was charming. It occurred to me that we live with miracles all around us. Tunnel vision prevents us from seeing the majesty of nature. As we focus on our problems both real and not so real…we fail to see the forest for the trees. We have been placed in a Heaven on Earth and still look for unseen beauty. 

Faith helps us see the mystery and majesty that surround us. To believe in something greater than you is empowering. Dr. Martin Luther King saw the possibilities of the future for Civil Rights while he was in the Birmingham Jail. Nelson Mandela kept his vision of the abolishment of Apartheid over many years of imprisonment. 

Christ could see the Peaceable Kingdom…from the cross…

Many do not believe we are down for the count as a Nation. We still believe in the inherent goodness of the human family. 

The Christian message is not the message of controlling others. Many churches have not learned this valuable lesson. Some have fled church to obtain their freedom. 

Our marvelous planet is full of people who are not our clones. Their likes and dislikes are not necessarily ours. Why would we want to control them or legislate their personal lives when we do not understand their respective challenges. Do you want the government to dictate who you can love what books you can read or what you must think?

‘We are all connected…we are all members of the same family…each of us relies upon our neighbor,’ Chet noted with a smile.

‘As Larry David says in his new season of Curb Your Enthusiasm,’ The Mirror shows us an image of how we see ourselves while a photo shows us how other people see us.’

‘Neva J’s Mirror shows me as I would like to be with an outgoing attitude and a joy de vie…while my personality is introverted,’ Jane said.

‘I love what the mirror shows me about the beauty of life that I am missing…often I see the reflection of the intricate beauty and wonder that I miss with my eyes,’ Chet said. 

Neva J Jane Chet and Billy B entered the Massive Mirror and began their exploration of the Mystery of Life…
