The Grace of Streaming Sunshine

Each morning I take a few minutes of quiet time in my office. My routine is always the same. I close the door, close the window shade, and sit on the floor in a special spot to lose myself in meditation. This morning as a approached the office door there was a blinding stream of sunshine coming from the window. I thought to myself, "I can't close the window shade and waste this beautiful sunshine." I positioned myself on the floor in the path of the sunshine, closed my eyes and absorbed its healing warmth. Grace is sunshine on a cold winter day.
