Walking through the park this morning, winter wonderland after a night of heavy frost, I spy elegant waterhen swimming alone in the clear icy water. Full of joy diving under water only to emerge again with a poor unfortunate fish in her beak.
I ring rang Paulina telling her about joyful waterhen; ‘I understand better now’, came Paulina’s quick reply, ‘we must do all that we are able to do while we are able to do it. We are very blessed to be alive, let’s not waste another second. Keep on with your craziness’.
Real fun is being part of something greater than ourselves, beyond the limits of this world, beyond the limits of ourselves. God’s is always the best way!
Paulina, elegant waterhen, little old me, alive and here but for a brief span in time. No need to wait until conditions are perfect - we have everything we need right here right now to do God’s will for us, in this our day and time.
My soul elevated on this cold bright morning, enough to make one dance for joy
‘On with the dance! Let joy be unconfined’. (Lord Byron)
