Today's ramblings from the train station...
./~ Great is Thy faithfulness
Great is Thy faithfulness
Morning by morning new mercies I see
All I've been given
Thy hand hath provided
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord unto me. ~\.
I can see why Firinel likes autumn so much. Every season is beautiful in its way, but autumn is everything at once - death, life, colour and decay, in all their myriad colours.
Every time I walk down the road to the station, I see a car with a numberplate '???? WOO' and I think of Marnanel. (I tried to put 'Marnie' here but it no longer fits. That's a child's name, and he's grown up now - grown up in the best way possible, without losing his creativity.)
'Adverse Rail Conditions' - the new phrase for 'leaves on the line'.
'For they will know Your glory
Better than I ever will' - from 'Cold - A Reflection on the Koeln Dom'
Some people tut and say 'He's not in the stone, you know', when faced with lavish church buildings. I must say I myself have felt a similar disquiet sometimes - why 'waste' all this money on 'showing off' when there was and is so many needs for it?
But one thing I do know - You *are* in the stone. It's not that You aren't in the stone, it's that you're not *just* in the stone. An important distinction.
You are limitless; we who try to limit You (I tried to type 'those', but I'm guilty of it too) can never truly know You; to know You is to forgo limiting you. And in Your limitlessness you can be and are both unchanging and unpredictable - and there is no contradiction. (Yay, found another one!)
Almost was a lot later to school (it's 8:27, the Braintreward train has just left after there was a door stuck open right down the end and only the driver for staff on it) - the train started to go forwards but the barrier was up and it almost ran smack into the side of a van. That'd be bus time after that...
Ahh, the peaceful sounds of someone's mobile going off with a silly tune in a temporarily abandoned car, quiet and alone.
Across the track, they tore down an extension to a house, and now they're rebuilding it. I guess it keeps ppl in a job.
