Sometimes you can take a God Trip without going very far. “Take a walk. I have a surprise for you,” said the spiritual prompting after breakfast. Although I had plenty to do today, I have learned to listen to those spiritual promptings.
I started the walk going downhill towards the pond. Sunshine warmed my shoulder as I sat on the bench having thrown out some fish food on the slightly rippling waters. A fish jumped on the far side of the pond where the Canadian geese have a nest. Birds chirped in the pasture. Purple martins swooped overhead.
Then a neighbor who has not been very friendly in the past drove down the road in her van, and I thought, “Is this my surprise?” She stopped. Got out of the van and approached me with a loaf of bread. “Here’s something to feed the geese,” she said. I told her how I enjoyed seeing her horse on my last walk in the woods. “He’s a good ‘watchdog’, ” she
said and smiled.
Yes, that was my surprise, and a healing. And I didn’t have to leave home.
