ER

Okay, so maybe I made it look a little more gloomy than it really is. But it’s how it feels. It’s how all hospitals feel.
Prayers for my Gran, please.

Sky

This shot is completely unmanipulated, except for cropping.  I snagged this through that part of the car windshield at the top that’s tinted.  No, not while driving.  I was waiting for my mocha to be made at Starbucks, camped out in the drive-thru.  I realized I was squinting and thought, “Sun!  Holy cow…it’s the sun!”  I dug out my sunglasses (unused for days), popped ’em on, looked up.  And saw this.  Moody clouds shrouding a bright sun.

Vigil

We went to Easter Vigil Saturday night. First time since Zoe was born, I think. When they turned off all the lights in the church I realized just how much I missed it. The dark sanctuary slowly lit with candles, one by one. The rituals and rites. The feeling of community. The incense. The music. The reverence.
Outside, a storm raged. The stained glass windows were lit from without in brilliant flashes. It was beautiful, and only added to the mood.
