Dark Brightness

Today the weather is fine: we have managed to get out and get what the younger son needs for an Autumn school camp. Such as waterproof boots (Wellingtons or Gumboots). Back home. So far a good day.

Let us praise G_d on these days of peace, for they may not last long. Let us thank him that we live in a place where the language and customs remain familiar, and in a place where the land is good and the rain regular. To live in a place which is like a sanctuary.

Psalm 114

1When Israel went out from Egypt,the house of Jacob from a people of strange language,

2Judah became God's sanctuary,Israel his dominion.

3The sea looked and fled;Jordan turned back.

4The mountains skipped like rams,t he hills like lambs.5

Why is it, O sea, that you flee?O Jordan, that you turn back?

6 O mountains, that you skip like rams? O hills, like lambs?
