I see nothing as it is now. This lesson talks about how each small step we take in clearing our minds a little of the darkness goes away. As practicing the lessons continues, we finally lighten every corner of our minds.
I took a walk in the late afternoon, with the beagle and a special little someone. We had our winter gear on (which made it a little more challenging to walk). The wind was fairly strong (which made it even a little more challenging). Ice shards stabbed us from the sky (yep, challenging to the point that I could have easily turned around). However, instead of focusing on all that - we heaved the darkness aside and forged our way into the light (at least for a little while). The beagle sniffed to her heart's content while my special little someone and I stomped through every mud puddle in our path, we threw rocks into the surf, and found three lovely pieces of beach glass.
Being in the moment, sharing air, space, and time with that special little someone reminds me that the spark of the divine exists in each of us. It is easiest to spot in these simplest of moments - a dog, a child, a mud puddle, a storm - giggles and hand-holding.
