Grow Into Life

Here it begins, where it is new. We have not seen this day before, even though we have lived through so many years together.



The rain will fall. The rain always falls these days. We seem to have lost the knack of summer. The grass will be wet where we lie, and be cold against bare skin. But it is important to touch the earth with nothing between us and it, to feel the weight of the world pressing back against you as we lie side by side and look up to see the clouds brooding together over us.

We come here when we feel a need to get close to something real, when our lives become little more than distance and horizons. We want to become something that lives in contact with life itself and feel how it feels to grow and become.

This place exists on the edge of our lives, a place of green and refreshment, a place away from all the other places that seem to exist only to rob us of life. This place gives us back a living feeling that can grow into life – if we dare let it.
