Spring has come. A chorus of birdsongs begins my day.
Yes, there is still pain and suffering. There always will be.
But the healing touch of nature brings hope and joy to my heart.
I see birds sharing food at our feeders, and I am reminded of an ancient
image of the resurrection that shows a bird breathing life into Christ.
While I sit outside in the warm fresh air of a June evening,
I am drawn into everything that surrounds me: the sound
of the ocean in the distance, the soothing feel of a warm breeze on my arms,
the sight of flowers blooming in the garden, the scent of new
mown grass.
The sky above is an endless dome of blue. The peace of it all.
This must be a bit of Heaven.
