Transitions and Being Transformed

Good Morning, God

I read that Lent is a Time of Transitioning from ordinary time into Holy Time. No wonder we devote 40 days to Lent. But this goal is ever with us. Actually several goals . . . the big goal is to be transformed. . . as St. Paul says in Romans 12:2 . . . but I hope small moments of transitioning help.

Every time I center I feel as if that is what I am attempting to do — to shift from my ordinary time into Holy Time. Ah, but my monkey mind is hard to quiet. And that is one of many reasons why I love making an early morning pilgrimage to watch the Sun Rise. Often the Sun Rise transports me into Holy Time — straight into AWE!

Sun Rise and Sun Set are times when I can SEE a transition taking place. During the day I don’t really notice where the sun is — from one moment to the next. AHAAA BUT SUNRISE!!!! Sunrise this morning was at 6:48 and this photo was taken at 6:22 a.m. HST. I had already missed a fair bit . . . but I kept on trying to capture the glorious images. This last one was taken at 7:00 a.m. And rainclouds were coming up from behind us — pouring down just as we drove away.

Photos are no better than words at capturing reality. This morning I was beholding the Heavenly Host — right here — right now. It was a transforming experience.

I will not stay transformed . . . but I feel a little enlarged and perhaps a bit cleaner . . . certainly I have more room for HOPE in me now.
