Emily Dickinson, ‘A Light Exists in Spring‘.
https://interestingliterature.com/2016/03/10-classic-spring-poems-everyone-should-read/
The poetry of Emily Dickinson was a discovery for me in my first year at Newcastle Uni, many years ago. I have loved her poems ever since, and, as February draws to its end, this seems like a good one for the blog.
Will I meet her one day in the restored earthly paradise? And if so, what will she be writing then?
Captain Moth-Butterfly (who took the late February sunrise photo above) has had to dive into the local phone box and get changed into his SuperRescueman gear at lightning speed a couple of times this week. All day Saturday they were out searching for the MISPER - missing person to you and me. Not found yet, which is worrying.
Problem: There are no local phone boxes any more.
And I am not in Superwoman mode at all, as I didn't manage to get out on the doors even once last week. So tired. Though I did help with the tea and coffee again after the meeting, and have signed up as a Pioneer for the next 3 months. It's under a new arrangement by which the minimum requirement is 15 hours field service a month, which I can usually do, plus. So I am trying not to stress about it. People need to hear the good news of the Kingdom so much. And it is so urgent.
I shopped on the way back from the Hall and got in the makings of a chicken casserole for my SuperRescuer who gets home tired and hungry from a day out metal detecting. It turned out well. And there is enough left for tonight, so all I have to do, cooking-wise today is to make a veggie soup for lunch. We both have our Zoom sessions with siblings today, but otherwise I hope hope hope for a quiet day in.
There was just 3 of us siblings today, as one of us is off-line, a very large tree having come down in the recent storm and taken a lot of power lines out. And a man was seriously injured - I hope he has survived, but I don't know. It was very close to home.
We are still living in the wake of the loss of Eden so troubles are increasing - but hopefully not for much longer.
