Whimsical Haiku
Looking and longing,
the world framed as a garden
propagating peace.
The photo is a favourite place in Drum Castle Garden, a place where peace can be felt, and prayed and hoped for; where seeds are sown on the long proven assumption that most will grow, and even those that don’t may feed the birds. And so we sow our seeds of peace in direct contradiction to the seeds of conflict, fear, hate and division so extravagantly sown in the fields of our common life.
These words are my daily strap line these days:
“May the God of hope fill us with all joy and peace as we trust in him, so that we may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” (Romans 15.13)
