Kate Rusby sings"The Wild Goose". The haunting tune, the wistful words . . . If you would like, perhaps listen. Here are some small thoughts and simple images:
... When watering the begonias, it is clear the thick green leaves are holding up the heavy blossoms of the early Christmas cactus. The cactus listens to the call to bloom at its own right time.
The crooked, scarred succulent has made room in the pot for a tendril of the ivy to take root and flourish.
Wild geese fly overhead, calling encouragement to each other. Together. finding water and rest on a long winter's journey..
Be faithful and courageous, friend. God cares for you. God cares for us all.
Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you; I will help you; I will hold on to you with my righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10
