Kindness


Apologies for ChickPea’s absence. And thanks for kind comments. Fuelled by incense from the Thurible, Lay Clerk’s insurance nightmare, and Can Bass 1’s dilemmas of form-filling, we find ourself here again.

Has been a rollercoaster week and weekend. TH and ChickPea have met such kindness throughout. We’re not into ‘soppy-stuff-religiosity’……. But nonetheless, sometimes you just find that the Love of God envelops and enfolds you and carries you through something. That’s how it has been this week, preparing for and living through DJ’s funeral which happened yesterday. A most difficult experience completely transformed by Love, Caring and so, so much Kindness.

And now the clouds of yesterday morning have passed, sunshine is with us, and both Eeny and Meeny are giving us eggs on a daily basis. Mr Mutt is dozing with one eye open, and on us, in hope of a Little Light Exercise. Ms Mog is deep in The Land Of Nod. The Chooks want Someone To Talk To……Anyone Will Do … (and Please Please PLEASE Give Access To The Garden at the same time…..)

Normal Service will resume soon……….

Just back from Retreat, and catching up. Sounds like a wonderful ending, or new beginning, for DJ.

I hate piousness, myself, but on my enforced silence and solitude last week I became aware of this overwhelming vastness, height and depth of the love of God. A real spiritual experience, which sounds something like your own. It will uphold you and the chicks just fine!

Keepin' you in my mind and prayers!

Thank you for popping in to mine. I'm sorry to find you at a sad time. Will return to hopefully find you in happier circumstances.
