After the Five Powers weekend

Diamond sparkles on morning frost.  Last week new friendships formed at Deer Lake retreat as we contemplated the five powers of mindful communication.  One of these, ‘discernment’, is related to the element of fire:  sunshine, seeing clearly, knowing what is true.

There is magic when the clear white light refracts on crystals and suddenly flashes of pink or blue or torquise appear on an ordinary blade of grass.   What is true is often known in silence, yet shared with a smile.
