This weekend my parents offered me a rare retreat from reality, and for a glorious twenty-four hours I forgot that I had anything to study for, and it was beautiful.
We went to the west side of the state to see my favorite lighthouse of all, Little Sable Pointe Light. If lighthouses could be described as photogenic, I would have to say that Little Sable is the most photogenic of all. I fell in love with it three years ago when I first came to WMU, and now, once again beginning another chapter in a new environment, I fell in love with it a second time. It's enchanting.
The weather cleared up just long enough for us to enjoy it. Dad and I climbed all the way to the top (160 steps--the largest lighthouse on Lake Michigan). I took dozens of great photos and spent a lovely evening in the sand with Mom and Dad. I missed them so much--I didn't have enough time to tell them all the things I've wanted to say... but as always, these retreats from reality are never long enough. I took from the sky and the rolling water the same thing I did back then--a soothing serenity that gave me new motivation. It reminded me of life's amazing potential.
I cried when they left. Oh how I wish everything that I love could be here with me. How I long for the day when I have the means to find that place I'll call Home.
