March 14 – Magenta Ice

Deep colors from a saturated sky reflect across cold waters, warming Lake Superior as another March day comes to a close in the Northland.

The ice formations retreat into the lake, as if surrendering to the inevitable rise of mid-March temperatures.

There is something profoundly calming about standing still and taking in a scene like this. It marks the end of one season and the beginning of another, as we March in step with the passing of time.

“He made the storm be still, and the waves of the sea were hushed.” — Psalm 107:29

Gratitude for fresh air and calm waters brings peace to the soul. Another day drifts into the past, and the hope of tomorrow gently accents a moment we will never have again.
