A Solitary Flight

photo taken on February 4th, 2011 of a bird flying in the winter sky at sunset.

"The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them;

and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose."

Isaiah 35:1

This is not necessarily the most beautiful photo, but it is very symbolic for me. Last Friday was a difficult day not to mention a long week at work. It was cloudy all day, but for a brief moment the sun before it set in the west appeared for a brief moment. After I took the picture, I noticed that a solitary bird was soaring high in the sky above the sun. In the photo the bird appears to be a small black dot.

In the post preceding this, I shared three scripture in Luke where the Lord went into the wilderness, the desert, the mountains to be alone to pray.
