The Sacrament of the present moment.💫

 

My beloved crows highly exasperated, they could not decipher the ‘little birds’ feeder and longed for the contents. They fluttered and cawed to no avail. Then, lightbulb moment, one crow balanced precariously on the flimsy feeder, thus spilling out some food on the ground below. Big celebration as they chatted and ate their spoil. Beyond delightful.

The little birds waited patiently knowing that any minute now the crows will fly away and it will be their turn to dine. Nobody gets left out, there’s a kindliness in the animal kingdom we humans would do well to heed.

They teach me to relax, let go, let God take over on this bright sunny cold day in January. Yesterday is gone, tomorrow is a word, all I possess is this beautiful day from God, freshly minted from His Holy Hands in Love. I shall not pass this way again, let me waste not one minute.

‘All powerful God, you are present in the whole universe and in the smallest of your creatures. You embrace with your tenderness all that exists. Pour out upon us the power of your Love that we may protect life and beauty. Fill us with peace, that we may live as brothers and sisters, harming no one. (Laudato Si)
