Went out on a walk taking in Chitty’s Common including the boardwalk where I slow-walked, drinking in the sights and sounds, even going off track and meeting a Goldcrest.
It was raining and the sky was heavy with dark grey clouds but it was trying to brighten although evening dusk was approaching. The trees were all web-like against the sky when I looked up at one point to follow a couple of Jays. Everywhere dripped with excess water.
I continued down Keens lane taking in the houses and Redwing in the hedge. I turned down the footpath that leads towards the fields on the edge of Rydes Hill. Climbing up the deep dense wet grass was a little effort on those fields. Reaching the top I looked in a westerley direction and saw the wild looking Ash Ranges. What a grand view! I followed the upper path round the field. A Green Woodpecker zoomed past me heading down hill.
5 people passed me, all had dogs bar 1 who had binoculars like me! As I came to the edge of the pond with its fence and treelined hedge a movement caught my eye – a Firecrest?! I watched as two other crests joined it. They were Goldcrests – I must have imagined that eyestripe as I didn’t see it again! No matter.
The sky all black was moving past me the rain had stopped a good twenty minutes earlier. In the black a small hole of blue, white and gold stood out, my insides said “I am coming“. I continued sliding over the clayey ground pondering this statement. This was why I wanted to walk! I am coming to answer your prayers, I am coming to bring my Kingdom, I am coming to fulfill my promises – this is what I thought.
I’d earlier on the common thought of what I’d read before coming out by Larry Randolph on synaesthesia in The Physics of heaven. I was expectant! I had not been disappointed! The Spirit was with me. What he says he will do! All this nature stirs me! We need to be ready for however he will speak and not just in the ways we’re used too.
Beautiful!
