"They all ate and were satisfied"

[clein]

Is that me? It’s a good question as I look at the sheep laid out like beached whales; fat, content, lazy, relaxed, at rest. I wonder when the last time I felt that “satisfied�. And the answer is not for a long time.

After all there’s stuff that has got to get done, tasks that need to be finished, reflections that need to be published before May 18th. Even this Dmin keeps me running – trying to reflect between meetings. It’s kind of crazy actually.

And that’s the tension. After all, we need to feed the sheep, we need to touch the sheep, we need to lead the sheep and water the sheep and sort the sheep and midwife the sheep and on and on and on. I can’t imagine finding time in all of that to lay out on the ground and just stare at some crazy photographer snapping shots in the desert. Maybe next week or the week after.

I know that His yoke is easy and His burden is light. The problem is finding enought time to try them on.
