How fragile or secure we are in one sense! All what we have do not necessarily protect or redeem us!
As I watched this leaf securely held by a web around which a spider has woven its strands, I realised that it has withstood the rain and wind of the last five days !
It is a time when we think about human vulnerability to circumstances.
However, I hope we would believe, that 'God who watches over us does not sleep or slumber'! It is a paradox that we are devastated by the recent flood, but we can still trust that we are held safely, it appears to be a fragile security!
Let me invite all of us to consciously trust this security in God...it looks fragile, but it is a sure and certain direction for human soul in difficult times!
I shall keep a watch over this leaf in the days to come!
This leaf with its supporting strand is a touching sight ! It was a gift given to me to revive my spirit!
This flood brings back memory to me of 1992 at Chennai when I was caught in a flash flood and the car stopped and got carried away by the gushing water for a while off the road! Few shopkeepers saw me in a dangerous situation pushed the car to safety! I could reach home only late night! To stay on the road with above waist water for six hours was a frightening experience!
What I celebrate is is our safety, which might appear fragile, but is still good enough and certain!
