Mielahti The poem below is connected to the photo above. It was taken at Mielahti, a magical, mirror smooth bay in beautiful lake Jämijärvi in Finland, where I have spent many summers with my family. Somehow light and water are made for each other, aren't they. I'm reminded of the first chapter of Genesis, where the Spirit of God is moving over the primeval waters when God says, "Let there be light." Ever since then light and water have been sisters and friends - just ask Monet. You may have noticed that the interplay of light and water seems to come up in quite a few of the poems in this blog. I hope that together the poem and the photo will give some impression of what I get so excited about. The clouds reflected in the water and the lake reflected in the sky are mirrors of God's presence manifesting in us and of our consciousness embraced in His unfathomably deep awareness - for "in Him we live and move and have our being." I hope it works for you too...
