Contrasting Sentiment

As much as I do love the city, nature is calling out to me in its colors and the undeniable reflection to its maker here in Washington.

We are all made to fellowship and the city makes a great place to do that. However, the problem that plagues a city like New York has rendered it difficult many at times to fellowship in a proper manner and I am now faced with nature to reflect with God more in the past few days.

My aunt has been consistently checking the weather for better skies. Apparently I came in a bad weathered week. She keeps hoping for the skies to be cleared and allowing the sun to come through, that way I could see the landscape much better. But to what I have witnessed so far has been amazing, for what I get to see in NY.

There have been clouded skies that hides some of the tip of the mountains that are well known here and my aunt has been disappointed with the invisibility of it. I however, find it rather thrilling to have to see but a mist and shadow of those summits in the background. It gives mystery and awe to what lies behind those mist and clouds. It somehow reminds me of Moses' request to see God's face and God just give a shadow.

I can see why this is a place where people come to retire, nature screams in beauty. But my heart is somehow left in New York City; where there is crowded-ness, disappointments, rush and chase of it all. Not that I enjoyed all that hectic atmosphere of NY but that it is where people are and people who needs to find God in their blindness.

As much as it has been mesmerizing being here in Washington, and I have a few more days here, but my heart is looking forward to NY again, for many reasons.
