The Door County peninsula has a number of inland lakes that most likely used to be harbors that closed in over time as the action of Lake Michigan waves deposited sediments along the shores.Kangaroo Lake may have seen some of the worst of what Lake Michigan can dole out when it was adjacent to the expanse of open water. But this particular morning the lake was a sheet of glass - you could look through it to the layers of limestone rocks along the shore and farther out, it became a mirror that reflected sky and a distant island in the center of the lake.
The Bible talks about heaven having a sea that is like glass. I can imagine the tranquility of that place in contrast to the sometimes tumultuous goings on here on this side of the expanse.
I think I saw a little bit of that on this particular morning.
