..................This attachment was very beautiful. When I walk with
the birds, and other animals in on the beach and everywhere in nature, I
feel a peace and understanding when God "speaks" through them to sooth
my "ruffled feathers" in a way I will never completely understand.
Patrick did,. This "soothing" introspective feeling cannot be taught'
in a book'. It is in the "sounds of silence", the sigh of the wind
through the trees, and the symphony of bird calls that calms the
"rattled" mind and soul-------the "great instruction". Listen and
learn---it's there for *all *to catch .(...Unfortunately, many
'speed-by' too fast to catch it!!).
.................Again----well said . We don't see the " footprints in
the sand" alongside us, but they *are* there.

.................Cheers.......Gerald Hamilton
