People have been very good to me this week and I can now evidence that there is soil in my garden! Clearing the weeds away revealed some surprises among which were some abandoned duck eggs. Strange how so much unwanted foliage was hiding something so precious. Somehow life doesn’t give us the settings we expect for the good things or the cruel things to happen. It seemed incongruous that people died on a ship that carried aid; it was shocking to hear of so much death and suffering in beautiful Cumbria. Like so many others I worry, pray and recognise the pain of others in this world of contradictions.
