Having spent a hard week ministering to the walking wounded, I was eager to spend some time communing with nature and recovering my perspective on the world.
So this weekend I have been mostly disturbed by....
- the suicidal sheep who decided to birth her twin lambs in the middle of the road.
- the oyster catchers who are busy building their nests in the dry river bed, ignorant of the fact that as soon as it rains the water will torrent off the hills and they will be swept away.
- the wrens who are nesting in our neighbour's soon-to-be-lit bonfire.
- this orgy of bacchanalian proportions in our water trough, which, frankly, disturbs me in a way I can't quite fathom.
