First walk of 2023 with Mary. A glistening morning with a
sharp frost but a full sun. Beautiful.
A tiny songbird lay dead on the road, her little body
frozen. Mary tenderly laid her under the long grass on the verge, so her
perfect body would not be squashed by the tractors and vans, cars and bicycles.
Life is such a gift. Whatever this day holds, I am grateful
for the bounty but mostly, grateful for the basic: the miraculous gift of life.
I came so you might have life to the full, Jesus declares.
Help me to embrace that today, Lord, and to learn exactly what that means in
this moment, in this month, in this year.
