Lockdown 471

Lockdown Day 471 - 10 July 2021

Today I did a little people watching during our usual walk along the cliffs of Schoenmakerskop and surrounds. Although it was cold, the sun was out and the wind only a soft to medium breeze.

There were many people around, all geared for hiking, strolling, and fishing. The fishermen were dressed in waterproof suits, sauntering down the little paths to find "their" spot they believe the best catch will come from.

There were couples and friends unpacking chairs, eats and coffee, and families with excited kids and pooches going on "hikes" down the road, on the beach and on the surrounding nature trails just behind the village.

The little ice cream cart was doing very well, selling Italian gelato in spades in front of Sacramento, who are closed because of the level 4 restrictions.

Everyone I saw represented choice. The choice we have despite the confines of regulations of Lockdown levels of a pandemic, waging a war against an abominable virus. The choice to get up and look up, the choice to care and the will to get through this.

And the choice to walk the road with our God, because He's got this.
