A Brain full of Stars
Richard
Christmas eve, the dog is snoring beside me, all the Christmas lights are off, the dark surrounds the house filled with rain, tomorrow Jesus will be born again.
Out among the starry expanses there is a gas giant forming with no-one to watch but God. In the church service tonight I watched a little girl rocking in her seat, not listening to the singing, thinking about something else, her presents? Surly not gas giants. I looked at that little head, her eyes looking off into space, and I wondered if God really is tuned in to all the brain states, peeping at the prayers emanating from children's heads.
This Ground of our Being, the being of little girls, us all being who we are, more significant than planets. Jesus as a child, daydreaming about a new earth with new rules. His kingdom come.

I love that time when every one is asleep and there is darkness and quietude. I believe God hears us then as He does when we least expect it. God is tuned in to all those brain states and understand all their tongues.
This was beautifully written, as are most of your blog entries – wonderful photography.
