Winter Sunrises warm my heart. Cold weather started early
this year and, after a few weeks respite before Christmas, has taken us into
one of the longest, coldest, snowiest seasons that I can remember. I began
winter with dread of the cold wetness. But somewhere along the pathway
the blazing insistence of Winter sunrises penetrated me
and convinced me that they were absolutely necessary to complete a
yearly cycle of Earth's Beauty. 
Of the many lessons to be learned in pondering this is the
potential of beauty to melt away the chill of resistance to new ideas, new
acquaintances, new ways of being. The catch is to take the time to really see
the beauty, to let it into your soul and to let it become a part of you.
May you be blessed by the beauty of each day, of each
person, of each act of kindness.
Sr. Dorothy Schuette, OSB
A wonderful reminder of the importance of slowing down to really ponder the beauty in all things. I'm going to pray not for a break in the weather, but for a change in attitude. Thank you Sr. Shuette!
