I have been learning to take more walks;
I take pictures along the way.
Stepping into the edges of flowerbeds
and big flower pots,
favoured by apartment buildings.
This is a view from nearby to my apartment building.
I believe it is these bells I hear at 4 pm;
they ring beautifully.
I wish, however, that Church Bells
would ring in the times and the days.
However, I am thankful for where I live
and for what I can receive in these moments, in this summer.
Things progress slowly,
or what feels slowly. But things are progressing.
I feel like this is a summer of healing for me.
This past year was full of challenges -
breaking my foot last summer
and a difficult job experience.
I am beginning to see more of the good
in this past year however,
and in my life.
God is so merciful to us;
my spiritual father continues to tell us,
again and again in Church,
of how gentle God is.
How spiritual healing comes from God when we are open to it.
I pray that we may live in God's mercy
and be thankful in God's goodness
and gentleness.
You are articulating what I've also thought of the silence of church bells in our culture.
ReplyDeleteGlad that this is a summer of healing for you. Walking is therapeutic also.
Spiritual healing foremost. I was struck by Father's words on how God only gives us what we are able to receive.
Thank you E-H. Yes, it is a good summer, but hard as life is a challenge!
ReplyDeleteYes. And Father also showed this as a promise, that God's gentleness will allow only what we can receive, so to not overpower us.
My Grandmother reminds me that God promised only to give us strength for this day...
