Lockdown 426

Lockdown Day 426- 26 May 2021

The fairway was beautiful on this sunny winter afternoon. I decided to join the two men for a short round of golf, to walk with them and enjoy some of the beautiful trees and nature scenery.

The late afternoon sun brushed over the green in long strokes and the local ducks on the pond started grooming before settling in for the night. Later, while the heat of a golden cappuccino warmed my hands, I watched as the treetops slowly went from green to sun-kissed. 

Back home, the ensuing packing jobs resumed, with last minute containers and suitcases ready for loading tomorrow.

This whole mini-move (albeit a temporary one) is a training session for downscaling our life to a more minimalistic approach.

Although it is a challenge, I suspect the ultimate reward will present itself soon enough. Lying in bed, watching the moon move into our room, I think of the pure white feather I found on the green this afternoon. I put it in my phone cover to remind me that God's got this.
