Soul-soothing Stuff

Attending Mass with family - worshipping and celebrating the Risen Christ. Sitting on the beach - big mac coffee in hand - alone but not alone. Embraced by the mountainous arms of the Living God - Kalk Bay mountains on the right, Helderberg on the left. Watching the rise and curl of the waves as they rush toward the shore, tickling the stones, sand and rocks, and nudging seaweeed ever closer. All the while undergirded by the heartbeat of creation. Seagulls conferring in the sun before dispersing and wheeling on the breeze. All together, an orchestra of redemption. The breeze like the Holy Spirit playing over the water and lifting the birds. The sun like the Saviour beaming light and warmth over all. The strength of the Father enfolding us all.
I am filled with peace.
