THE ARRIVAL

Butterfly's are coming to our garden but to see a humming bird is a rare sight.

Legends say that hummingbirds float free of time,
carrying our hopes for joy, love and celebration.
The hummingbird's delicate grace reminds us that
life is rich, beauty is everywhere, every personal
connection has meaning and that laughter is life's
sweetest creation.

With high hopes I race to beat the mailman home to our house; but no mail at all!

This seems to be the promise that was the garden of Eden but now we know that much of the world suffers in the darkness of despair. Thankfully there are some who are trying to help and some progress is being made. The homeless in Vancouver will soon have to leave the homes that were built to keep them off the streets during the Olympics but which are now too good for them. Publicity is now making us aware of these problems.

I wonder if we all do not have to be shaken out of our complacency to alter the course of our lives or the lives of others. Like the article in the Sun reminds us even in our mature years we are called to take risks. Risks with the one life we have to live.

Choose life the Bible states as we journey from creation to experiencing revelation and finding redemption.


Today we will be delivering cards by mail and to our friend Madie Dunlop. who looked after Sandra when I went back in the hospital after having her, for a week. Then off to the library.
