Lake Katherine Pine Watercolor

Even the pine reaches for the light.

When I go to a location with sketching supplies in hand, how do I decide on a subject to sketch? I begin to walk…looking for something to speak to me. Something in nature has to reach out, it has to say something without saying anything at all. It could be a unique feature on an ordinary object. It could be a look, a moment, or a feeling. I could relate to it or I could be in awe of it.

This pine at Lake Katherine spoke to me without words. It said, “I’m doing all I can in my circumstance, then I let go.”

Do you feel this way? Can you come to this conclusion?

Sometimes when the world seems dark and overwhelming, reaching for the light then letting go is all we can do.

Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God. And God’s peace which transcends all understanding shall garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6-7

May you find peace and comfort in the light.
Amen
