What a difference a day makes!

Typical of the East coast of Scotland. From yesterday's magnificent sunrise to today's gloomy mizzle (mixture of mist and drizzle). I couldn't even see the houses that I wrote about yesterday.

And yet ... there is something to learn from days like today. There is a stillness that seems to pervade everything - even the birds seem quieter, muffled, subdued.

In our human frailty we find it hard to be inspired on a day like today - when you can barely see 100 yards. Maybe we need to find ways of looking for the positives on days such as these. Yesterday, the majesty of creation was awesome; today, was a time to be still and know.

And I'm sure I spotted a tiny chink of sunlight on the horizon as I drove into Arbroath.

When I walk in his mists
he will guide me
if I learn how to trust
in his ways

When I walk in his mists
he will guide me

if I learn to tune in
to his voice

When I walk in his mists
he will guide me

if my life in his hands
I will place

When I walk in his mists
he will guide me.

thank you, I needed this...had a wee one go to heaven today at work, it was unexpected as he had been improving. The poem was very comforting. :)
