    Penetrating Light

    / No Comments

    Last week, during an early morning run, I was struck by the light that penetrated the darkness on one of my favorite trails near our house in Worb, Switzerland.  It was a great reminder that as much as I try to hide from the light, the light always penetrates my shadows and invites me into freedom.

We spent Easter Weekend (and the Paschal Triduum) in Lugano, Switzerland.)
