MIRROR OF THE SKY
Nestled here among you in God’s country we have a life to live.
Life that is strengthened by those we love the most.
Life that grows wiser with the gifts of joy and the pains of sorrow.
As we look to the north and to the south we find the beauty of the Blue Ridge. To the east, the life giving waters of gently flowing rivers and off to the west the rugged slopes of the Appalachians.
It is here where peace is around.
It is here that love never fades away and the hills roll to the sea. It is here where the blue vista mirrors the sky. It is here where the songbird sings and the mandolin rings. It is here where quiet stillness is felt and stars shine in the darkness.
It is in this sacred space that we have a life to live, a sacred spirit to embrace, and something new to see when we look into the sky.
