Unexpected Treat

Roxy - Photograph by Matilda Clifford


Yesterday I saw a 12 week old Labrador puppy. She has the same light golden colour that our Roxy has and is beginning her training as a guide dog. We ran into each other by pure chance just as I was about to leave after my spiritual direction session. So inquisitive, gentle and with that sweet puppy breath. Her trainer was just about to enter their yard after their morning stroll. A few minutes later and I would have missed them. But I didn’t and it made such a difference.

A dog
is soft
on the touch
and although
it may not
count for much
it is
the theology of love
as such

  'n Duisend Hande Die Gesprek Elemente Uit Die Gesprek ~ ❖ ~ "Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative [or creation] there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too.  All sorts of things occur to help one that would otherwise never have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of incidents and meetings and material assistance which no man would have believed would have come his way." W.H. Murray, Skotse ontdekkingsreisiger ~ ❖ ~ Cause of Death Uitstalling Ariana in vervoering  Musiek Wanneer jy dinge nie so krampagtig probeer beheer nie, jou oorgee aan die vloei van gebeure en oop is vir die onverwagte, kan jy saam met Ian McKellen sing. Ian McKellen gee nie om saam met wie hy sing nie, solank hy dit net kan doen.
