All my attempts at friendship did nothing to change Lil Hedgehog’s opinion that the world outside his spike-ball is ‘ugh‘. (In our visit to a Farm yesterday).
How have I changed recently ?
Am staring more at Creation & our Creator; at how disabilities fine tune our hearing :
am attempting to put into words: this growing shock that we different species have a heatt beat, have Affinities/or fear of each other….
Later last evening, we met a Kashmiri with kind, hesitant eyes;
I saw how our earth gets smaller but We are seasoning as travellers: we are getting more prone to war, noise and withdrawal. (Conflict is a Sacred attempt to make self obsessed mortals start to just plain think?)
If I’ve changed in my mind, I understand a more today, that Trouble makes us see things we never could’ve elsewhere;
that Loss can turn into a truly positive attempt at seeing Gain, (look close at the acres of New-ness that Change can bring).
A surrendered life is a good thing, yes. Today am more surrendered to God than I’ve ever dared be. Change & Trial will do that. It re-routes us, thru our wilder-nesses.
I’m less Shy of telling even myself, that we are loved by Christ; precious to Him, more precious than we allow our selves to allow.
attempts at anything we do makes changes within us that can affect more than we imagine in those around us indeed.

“Loss can turn into a positive attempt to see Gain.” Thank you for reminding us of this. I to want to live more surrendered and constantly turn my eyes to Him, the founder and perfecter of my faith.
