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.
