How This Scene Saved Me

     What a year it’s been. Violence, uncivil discourse, hurricanes, fires. And a black cloud of nuclear war.
     
Tension about all this threatened to explode in me until I recalled a skyline that took my breath away one day as I drove back into metro Denver. Our urban area encompasses three million souls, yet from a distance, the city looked as small as LEGO pieces hugging the horizon. I realized this was a microcosm of the whole world, miniature under a canopy of billowing white clouds.
     This calmed me. We still have all our problems, I know. But someday, as the old carol promises, “the wrong shall fail, the right prevail with peace on earth, good will to men.”
​     
That’s a perspective to hold onto.
