All the world holds it's breath as events unfold in Japan. Our thoughts and prayers are with Japan, her citizens, and the rest of Humanity as we all struggle to make sense of this.
And yet, as this tragedy unfolds, Nature continues her process of bringing new life into the world. I am reminded of a quote from St Benedict:
"Always we begin again"
and so we must follow this tender Blossom's example
and bravely open ourselves up to
an Unknown Future...
knowing we are part of a Greater Whole
Let us take strength
from the newly emerging leaves
and their reminder that
"Always we begin again"
We carry with us the hopes and dreams
of those lost
our inspiration to
Carry On
when we think it is too much to bear
We owe them that.
"Always we begin again"
