The ice that froze on the trees Thursday has not melted. Yesterday about 3 PM the lowering sun made the top of the mountain a fairy land. I was so enthralled by it I got out of the car and spent about 15 minutes taking pictures. No one picture captures the all-encompassing experience.
I am reminded of how I could not get the Grand Canyon into my camera. As I was leaving I stopped at almost every overlook to take pictures from that angle.
God is too grand to be encompassed by our human minds and imaginations. Rather than live with Mystery and unspeakable Beauty, we can be tempted to settle for a god that we can squeeze into our heads. This silver freeze takes us out of ourselves and teaches us how to surrender to a God we cannot grasp.
