It came and now in less than half hour it is gone. I have a bird feeder outside the floor to ceiling picture window in front of my desk in my office at home. The feeder is in the midst of so many unkempt trees and bushes next to our house that it is usually dark around the feeder, and I only see glimpses of the bright blue and red colors of many of the birds. The brilliant colors are a disguised gray in the shadows as the birds peck back and forth frenetically at the hard cake in the wire cage as if it were their last meal, but for about twenty minutes on a sunny day as the sun rises its light goes directly through the dense bushes and trees and scrubs adjacent to your house and shines like a spotlight on the green wire mesh feeder. Male and female red birds, cardinals, bluebirds shine in the sun's radiance. The first time I saw it, I literally could not breath it was so spectacular. "Ahhhh", was my only response. That first morning as I stopped everything I was doing at my desk, checking email, looking at my day's agenda, a flock of at least 15 deer ran by. They went by so fast, I would have missed them if I had not been looking up instead of down at my computer screen. As I look a little higher I see the rooftop of the trees by my window colored with the random branching of the tiny flowers of the red bud tree, a wild tree that announces the beginning of spring in our neighborhood. The painted ceiling of a cathedral could be no more beautifully and intricately designed.
One more interruption in the early morning where God comes into my life through a crack in the trees by my window in the early morning and by some miracle, I look up and out.
