With New Eyes
Opened
Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter
and James and John, and led them up a high mountain apart, by themselves. And he
was transfigured before them, and his clothes became dazzling white, such as no
one on earth could bleach them. And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses,
who were talking with Jesus. Then Peter said to Jesus, "Rabbi, it is good for us
to be here; let us make three dwellings, one for you, one for Moses, and one for
Elijah." He did not know what to say, for they were terrified. Then a cloud
overshadowed them, and from the cloud there came a voice, "This is my Son, the
Beloved; listen to him!" Suddenly when they looked around, they saw no one with
them any more, but only Jesus. As they were coming down the mountain, he ordered
them to tell no one about what they had seen, until after the Son of Man had
risen from the dead. So they kept the matter to themselves, questioning what
this rising from the dead could
mean.

The only real voyage of discovery
consists not in seeking new landscapes
but in having new eyes. *

One’s destination is
never a place,

We had a delightful time at
our Dine Around Dinner this week.
I caught Marcia in an off
moment!
Kathe loved
it!
Thank you,
again, NANCY!!!
It is
gorgeous!
Karen gave an interesting
Brown Lunch Bag talk at the Center for the Arts
about The Group of Seven
from Canada. I had never heard of them before.
It was lonely walking
around the lake at eight o'clock
Saturday morning
in 18 degree weather!
We had only a couple of
inches of fresh snow, but the
cold made it look like
granulated sugar.
All journeys have secret
destinations
of which the traveler is
unaware.
