What is the significance of 1 day? Between the peeking purple of the sunrise and the glowing orange of the sunset? What lies between these bookends of time?
Could it be possibility? Love? Knowledge? Change? Opportunity? Joy?
It could be the joy of a great meal or the warmth of a loving hug. It could be the smile of a stranger or a jar of honey. Life can be made up of so many splendid things... So that makes each day 1 piece, 1 powerful spark that could light the flame of life, 1 small speck in time that is as strong and as necessary as the atom.
1 Day... What lies between those pages for you?

Three Suns, Three Moons
Days go by so quickly at times. One minute the darkness of night engulfs you, making your eyes wander around searching the dark crevices for unrelinquished gifts. Then before you know it, the light of day makes your eyes adjust, causing you to see things less clearly at first, but then offering comfort and illumination to all that you were searching for.
And all this time goes by... and you stand with no real awareness that the sun has shown its face three times over... and all the while you have been standing in the same spot, feet planted, searching dark corners for what can only be revealed by the light... Three days have gone by, a sunrise each day and a sunset each night. The solar system has engaged you, called you out to play, and entertained you with its changes. And in that time, you are just... standing... searching... looking... staring blindly. At the end of this cycle, your spirit is shocked into recognition that the sun has risen yet again. How could you have missed it? The surprise engulfs your senses, but the days cannot be re-lived.
So what does this mean? To see three suns and three moons and not notice? To experience God's only beloved night and day and be as stoic as the mountains?
It means that life could be passing you by. It means that you are searching for what is right before your eyes, night and day. God hides nothing, but will allow light to shine when it is time and darkness to fall in its season. So instead of straining the eyes to see what God has given, take the time to look away and trust. Look away and embrace God's glory. Do not let three suns and three moons pass you by and not notice their splendor. They are too precious to God and to us. And the time and space they embody cannot be replaced or recalled.
So open the eyes to see them and open the spirit to receive them.
Golden-Hearted,
