A few more visual mornings poems of different tones from this month, but all of us still in dialogue with morning light…even by the end of night. I could stare at morning all day! I like the way morning light equalizes and highlights us.

CS Lewis, in “The Weight of Glory”, spoke of this idea that if we really saw one another in our glory we would be shocked, and treat one another with reverence—good meditation for these days! Of course, as St Paul taught, we all have unique constellations and styles of shining, of radiating or reflecting glory!

Even shop windows hold worlds! It’s healing to see things in more of their actual glory! At least it’s a good practice, and made easier by morning light. Looking from and into the heart of things, overcomes all forms of racism, which is based in fear and judging by appearance.

Glory outshines and displaces hatred. When we see another person’s true glory, we can’t hate them. This has always been true. Shine on people! Let’s uncover the light from one another bushels, so to speak! Art can help us see the glory in common things and one another. It’s not a luxury to do so, it’s a necessity! Especially now.
