First Saturday of Advent: Something Beautiful, Something Good from Soft Light

Highway 59 outside of El Campo, December 2025


 


A winter sky over South Texas. 

The clouds are washed in silver over fields that are resting from growing and harvest season. The colors cast a soft light over everything. The light becomes my companion on the drive. I love how it shifts every few minutes as sunset approaches. 

Some moments come wrapped in their own diffused softness. Moments when the most important thing is to simply be present. To witness. To tend to what is right in front of us. 

I'm grateful for the quiet joy that finds us along the way. It is something beautiful, something good.
