Sometimes small family outings can turn into significant ones. As I continue to observe: ‘small things make a big difference’.

My family and I took a beach walk the other day and it turned into a whale watching event and a botany class on Banksias.

Below: from the headland. In between the beach in the distance and the rock in the foreground,  the whales were moving about and waving tail fins which reflected off  the sun. A boat is near to the right of this.

So in order to mark the occasion and in a moment of inspiration, I wrote this little ditty down:

‘Noiseless existence

not silent, just finely tuned

into this moment of breathtaking brilliance.

Right. Now.

This present, its significance

 the surprise in little gasps of … WoW!!

Met with a priceless magnificence,

in this joy-filled ambiance, cherished,

my grateful heart bows.

I recollect in this reminder, permission granted

through Jesus the Christ’s persistence

Lord, be mindful of my contented-thankfulness.

For this present. Its life-giving significance,

and the priceless

magnificence in little gasps of…WoW!!
