This morning I have returned to my customary routine, which is wake up early, boathouse, coffee with rowers, work. This is a routine I have followed for years now, and it gives me time to pray, to rise in the sunrise, to enjoy the companionship of my friends, and to get ready for the work day. I've missed my routine, which was upset in August when I injured my shoulder. It is perfect for me to get back to it as a new year has begun.
In New York last week, I ventured out early every morning with my camera. I loved this ice formation, which to me captures that fleeting moment when things like leaves, like us, get stuck in one position, until the sunlight falls and begins to melt that which is binding us, holding us, causing us to freeze in one position. As I took this picture, the light was already starting to hit the ice, but everything was very still, still.
There's nothing wrong with being frozen for a time, but the sunlight always comes and loosens things up, and that is when the flow begins again. Are you in frozen mode or in flow mode at the moment? Something to ponder today.
