Sun through mist, 
November.

As through a glass, 
darkly,
one day we shall see
face to face.

Meanwhile,
I am known.

(Musing on

1 Corinthians 13:12

For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part;
but then shall I know even as also I am known.

Poem and photographs. by Gill,open up the opportunity to weave your own thoughts into the experience of the mist shrouding Tarn Hows, one of the beauty spots of the Lake District. St Paul is painting a picture of love and its fulfillment in the Love of God. Our understanding of love, as powerful as it may be,is but a view through the mist in comparison to the brightness of God’s love for us. It may be that, circumstances in our lives might not suggest a brighter vision right now. Our world in many places is shrouded with mist and darkness. The photos suggest a way through as the scenes are charged with expectancy and promise. You might see a deeper joy about to reveal itself to you. Whatever you make of these photos and Gill’s words, please try and take to heart the line, ‘I am known’.
You are known to God. That knowledge is expressed in God’s arms around you; God’s love for you.
No matter how you see it or feel it, it is real.
