Prairie skies

   One of the beautiful pieces of the Canadian prairies is the sky.  It is high and wide.  On a clear day it is scattered with fluffy white clouds on a soft blue background.  In the winter it can be gray and low wrapping the land in a silent cool embrace before the snow falls.  Today as I drove with newly seeded fields on either side of me, the clouds rolled in.  Dark rain clouds with spiky lines of rain travelled both sides of the sky.  I was driving in the center of them underneath blue.  The sun broke open a space in the rain cloud to the west of me.  A beam of light shot through right to me.   At least, it felt like it was directed to me.  I take it as a sign.  It was a sign to remember that even in the darkness light shines.   Light and dark need one another, but the Light always triumphs.
