Within the Vine

There is something really special about Unity

A crowd of unknown people gathering with a common cause

We find ourselves going in the same direction

With one heart

In one accord

Bringing Harmony to often discordant lives

And I am thankful

• A funeral service becoming a heartfelt celebration of life,

• Remembering  that says so much about the young man, gone home

• His vigilant and loving family

• That we could call him friend

• Crush hour all homeward bound

• Football fun and fervour – all codes

• Essential Pursuits = Trivial Pursuits raising funds for an Indonesian Library

• Grey Power to the fore

• Fading light of evening

• City lights spectacular

• Long road trip safely completed

• Clean and well-kept wayside stop, serving edible fresh food, salads and sandwiches.

• 3^rd generation dairy farmer, strange combination of Italian and Bush Aussie accent

• Hardworking men  and women of the land

• Dormant orchards and vineyards – a pregnant pause before spring

• The timely words of Much Encouragement, bringing forth fruit – thank you

• Borrowed pressure cooker returned full of soup – wow

• Visiting friends

• Sharing feasts and favours

• Lovely long wheelie-walk in brisk winter sunshine

• Lakeside detour

• Watoto Children’s Choir performance

• Songs, Colour and Rhythm of Africa

• Spirit, Love and Life of God

• Hope and Faith against all the odds

• Opportunity to entertain Angels – such a Blessing

• Calm Comfort in which they rest and play

• Discovery of Other-Culture

• Our lives Our hearts – expanded

• Earthmother reawakened
