'lovely green silence'

That got me, and isn’t it a lovely even beautiful feeling. I had a homely sunlit breezy moment yesterday morning watching the clouds drift from my upstairs verandah.

I didn’t consciously understand that I was shaking the foundations of my premie belief system when I started to do so. What I did recognise was that I was in a state of inner conflict.

In a way, until that time I was a fence sitter in effect if not intent. I view it like there I was setting out to cross from one field to the next. And at that vulnerable moment climbing the stile, one leg over the fence, I paused to look at the sky and the face of god appeared upon a cloud.

Politely, I stopped to listen to what he had to say. One of the first things he said was that it was important that I should listen to what he had to say.

Eventually it didn’t matter what he had to say, however beguiling or even frightening. I had been sitting on the fence so long I was going numb and pins and needles or not had to move.

Navigating by my premie belief map, like a fly that’s fallen into a glass of beer, I made my way to the base of those pillars of certainty in order to discover the nature of the war and see if I could effect a peace.

Or to continue my view, I made it down that stile and into the next field.

So, why I started this post was to say that when it comes to peace, my most delightful moments have been in the forest. Where feelings shift freely with the shadows of the leaves.
