Words from Pep
September Light
By
James Washburn
Looking
across the field a different spirit baths the scene as mid-September slips
above the horizon. The light has changed, become softer. It is the Light of the
World that urges my relations to ready for winter. Squadrons of swallows skim
the ponds. Bear raid hives and squirrel caches devour berries. A gardener
wearing a mask secretly harvests corn at night and the last skins are shed as
our armless, legless, friends slither through the duff seeking entrance to
south facing hillsides in order for sleep to come gently in the warm earth. As
days get shorter and shadows longer, it is the light that directs these lives.
It is the light that washes over our sphere, giving, instructing, guiding life
in its cadence of perfection. . . . . . It is the Light that can direct our
lives if we will but stand in It, let It fill our being, renew our mind, expose
the love hiding in our shadows. . . . . . Every human, no exceptions, you are a
creation from birth bathed in the Light. Yes, misunderstanding, deceptions, and
wrong indoctrination may veil, even eclipse the Light of Love that is you but
ultimately Love rises, Love wins. Let this Light throw off the lie of that need
for self-protection. Dwell in the Light of the World and It will tow out of you
a life that changes the earth. It will drag out of you peace, grace and a love
that cannot help but give itself away. You shall be as the light of the
morning, swallowing the darkness, igniting the eyes of those captured in gloom.
. . . . . The Spirit of mid-September Light speaks of rest to come with
resurrection to follow. This Light speaks of faithfulness. We can trust It,
follow It, let It lead. Our relations know this and teach us. They have been
guided by It from forever.
ONE WORLD - ONE FAMILY OF MAN - ONE CREATOR OF ALL
