Dearest Readers,<\/p>\n
You know how clouds can sometimes take the shapes of earthly things? We’ve all seen the cloud that looks like an animal or an every day object. Yesterday I saw an eye.<\/p>\n
This eye was so big, it took up so much room in the sky and it was so real-looking, with the pupil and the upper lid clearly defined, the first thought that came to me was, “That’s the Eye of God.”<\/p>\n
It was about 8:45 a.m. and I was driving out of town to work at a colleague’s studio. The sun was just beginning to rise above the mountains. The nearest clouds were lit from behind with yellow light and a strip of hot gold ran across the length of the distant peaks, illumining their snow-covered edges. It was a staggering sight to behold.<\/p>\n
Then I noticed The Eye. It was dead straight ahead of me, the new morning light shining through its centre. I obviously had to watch the road but I couldn’t take my own eyes off it. I felt<\/i> it looking at me.<\/p>\n
Have you seen Avatar<\/i>? One of the lines that has stayed with me from the movie (paint-by-numbers story, stunning cinematic execution) is something the Na’vi, the big blue creatures who live as One with Nature, say to one another: “I see you.”<\/p>\n
This Eye in the Sky seemed to be saying just that. “I see you.”<\/p>\n
For me, believing in a benevolent, loving Force of the Universe is one thing. Believing that this Force knows<\/i> me and supports me unconditionally is another. It’s the difference between faith and trust.<\/p>\n
The more I have practiced trusting the more I have been shown that I have reason to trust. It’s that simple.<\/p>\n
You might say, “It’s just a cloud,” but when one’s prayer is, “Show me your Presence,” it’s fun to believe that a big giant eye shining in the sky is the answer.<\/p>\n
Inspiring Message of the Day: When we keep our eyes and our ears open to the spiritual messages, an everyday object can become a Power symbol, which can then serve as a reminder of Higher Guidance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
