Description
Hello dear friendsĀ
Thank you so very much for joining me for this eveningās episode, from Chelsea in London, England, where all is dark, windy and wet. But - there is (must always be) a but - the days are getting longer; the male blackbirds š¦āā¬ have started their beautifully tuneful courting; the snow-drops are peeping up; and God is, perhaps, in His heaven.Ā Peace can be found within and without, even if itās not the most evident thing before you.Ā Look past the dark, dirty, scary stuff to see what always lies beyond: birds, trees, grass, leaves, kind people, good deeds, love. Ā We canāt hope to find any āanswerā to the human condition, but we can choose where to walk, where to look to how to act.Ā A very restful Monday evening to you. Ā
