I felt surprised today when I saw the display of the statistics of this blog in the computer screen. I crossed writing 4800 blogs since I started it in June 2012.
It was because of persuasion of Anna that I embarked on sharing my thoughts. The room above was organised by Anna in our book room, for me to sit and reflect in the early mooring and use it for blogging! It is the table around which we spend a good portion of our early morning each day with our routines of the morning. It is the oldest part of the cottage where we live.
The space above gives a good setting to listen, discern, process and reflect. The books surrounding the table provide easy access to refer to, when some thoughts need further substantiation or exploration!
I begin the day with a sense of gratitude for the thoughtfulness of Anna in initiating me to this experience of learning to reflect and express the thoughts, often arising out of a nature scene that I watched in our garden!
I remember these thirteen years since I wrote the first blog, as a journey inward to receive ! What I man enabled to discover is the truth of God hovering over my inner space and the gift of love Anna brings, revealing the landscape of the mountains and valleys, becoming more coherent and connected through the times of reflections !
The journey towards the inner landscape receives a metaphorical and mystical dimension, when one is in the late seventh decade of life and there is an overview of life made possible by a slowly paced inner journey!
