The Divine Imagination: Inward BoundFrom the "Wild Geese" comes other thoughts... Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air: are makimg me feel freer than I've felt in a long time. Making the sadness and despair in my heart wash away due to the wind rushing past me, imto my face making my eyes water, clearing my mind. It makes me feel so free and wonderful, like when you hold a child's hand on a crisp fall day and trample through the leaves that cover the ground after they've fallen from the trees. The colors are so vivid and beautiful. The child and I laugh with delight as we skip along kicking at the leaves as we march along. Oh what fun we have during those fresh crisp, joyful moments that this goes on. These feelings, the laughter, the freshness of the fall air, the sound of the rustling leaves, the sounds of the leaves as they're being kicked around, the sound of our voices as we sing that made up silly, happy, song; will remain in my heart and in that sweet child's heart forever here after. It comes back to me on occasion and brings me out of myself that is sad as it knows it is a much better place to be, at that moment that is not a joyful one. Happiness from wild geese, laughing children and crisp fall leaves... Audrey Larkin
