The world in solemn stillness lay. It is just light, grey, and cold, the earth, the river, and the sky are all the same cold color. When I awoke, the moon shone bright upon the earth, giving light to the cold. We had near 25 herons overnight by our shore and now I can see them very slowly, one and then another, fly away to mornings somewhere else. It is Sabbath morning and we will join the pilgrims around the globe moving to worship together. I can feel the swelling faith, as millions uncounted rise to join all nature (and herons) in manifold witness and declare, “This is the day the Lord hath made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it.” But for now, the world in solemn stillness lay.
