The Miracle of Swoops and Swallows

Today I worked diligently at Midtown. It's been a hectic week. I am thankful, but I miss my peace time, so this evening I came home and went straight to the comfortable chair by the pool that reclines in such a fashion as to suspend my body in space facing the sky. I breathed deep breaths and watched the swallows whirling and swooping and paddling madly across the sky. I could tell by their reckless flight that the air traffic controller was fast asleep. They owned the air space above my house and the field behind the house, and they gave my whirling, swooping mind rest. Thank you fine swallows. By the way, I haven't noticed you here before and this spring, I see you by the hundreds filling the sky. Did you tire of San Juan Capistrano and decide to visit Florida for a change, or do you know something we don't know? Great show! I'm sorry I didn't get a shot of you with my camera, but I have a picture of one of your friends I'll share in your place. I know, you deserve better.

...You who seek God, let your hearts revive. Psalms 69:32b
Peace. Love, Linda
