CALM IN THE STORM

That title makes one think they are about to read an inspirational message. Well, probably not here, from me, but maybe the photo is inspiring? I like it. What do you feel, sense? I think someone sent it to me a year or two ago during a dry season in the west. Right now New Orleans and the vicinity are being pounded by Hurricane Katrina. 7,000 have entered the safety of the Superdome, "the steel doors have been closed" is what Brian Williams at NBC news stated this morning about 8 AM. All who are in are safe and the others who have stayed outside the dome are on their own. They have made the choice to do it themselves, without aide or assistance from others. Back to the photo. The deer or elk in the photo seem to instinctively know the path of safety, the escape route running right through the middle of all the destruction. I think I sometimes need to see the way out, to know when to stop, when I have met my match, and know when it's time to flee and not fight. To find the stream of redemption provided for me,...the redemption that is not of my doing, lest I should boast. Sorry if this turned into an inspirational message. Enjoy the photo.
