March 24 – Harbor Reflections

On a peaceful March evening, a full moon rises behind the lift bridge and casts its glow across the calm waters of Duluth Harbor. 

Even the faintest ripple can distort the image, turning a mirror into an abstract painting. Reflected light is also partially polarized — which is why a simple twist of a polarizing filter can either erase or intensify the mirrored sky.

Reflections are interesting because they show an exact duplicate of the object being reflected, but they remain temporary and fleeting. They aren’t real. A reflection appears only when the surface stays still.

As in water, face reflects face, so the heart of man reflects the man. Proverbs 27:19

 When life is unsettled, clarity fades. But in stillness, what is true becomes visible. Stillness reveals what chaos hides. When we quiet ourselves before the Lord, His image becomes clearer to us — Especially in the Word of God.
