A Drop at a Time

Fallen Feather by Fran Byrne

After much scratching of head about how to greet ‘Christmas’ as a lapsed and deeply cynical Christian, I found inspiration from this photo on Earthshots.org. I was hoping I would find a picture that would speak to life and all its oddity, the magic of it and the incidental horror of it… this beautiful shot sort of fits, anyway it did inspire some words. This is the closest I can come to a Christmas Greeting and not feel a hypocrite. Blessings to you, however you may find them:

Delicate and delicious and frighteningly beautiful strange and malevolent floating flying nature falling in harmony and altogether out of sync odd and loveable dirty and unshaven pure and crystal clear strong and enduring fragile as a feather.

Life is in the living breath is always moving we are together one ocean

We are each of us one small drop at a time.
