Today has been a full day – the Waterstone gift tokens are gone, (3 novels and 2 CD’s, of which more in a later post), I’ve done a 10k training run (modest pace), read The Independent over a very fine Latte , (a kind of 10k for the mind!), bought a book and a CD for Sheila, finalised my paper on George Macleod’s prayers for our Scottish Christian Spiritual Tradition Conference tomorrow, given the grass its first cut for the Spring – clocks change tomorrow too –
and today to frame all this in unexpected joy, the sun realises its payback time for a miserably dreich winter and is reminding me that the sun shines also on the unrighteous! So today I’m not remotely scunnered – books, sweat, latte, prezzies and sunshine – I’m juist that chuffed so ah am. Or in a more literary vein
"The adventure of the sun is the great natural drama by which we live, and not to have joy in it and awe of it, not to share in it, is to close a dull door on nature’s sustaining and poetic spirit."
