103 – Inspiration From Blue Sky
Last Wednesday, I got to get off work early, so I went for a walk. I had no idea where I wanted to go, but the roads led me to a field next to a school.
The green cushioned beneath my feet as I was walking across its breadth—dress shoes aren’t made for walking ken. A plane ripped through the sky as it ascended above my head, a BA jumbo jet… heading home. How very blue was the sky, not a piece of cloud in sight! I knelt down to feel the grass, dried in the afternoon sun. So I put my bag aside and laid me down.
My eyes shut when a light breeze tickled the tip of my nose. I could have fallen asleep like that. When I opened my eyes again, all I saw was blue. I’d imagine the sun tucked away in the north-west, but I was too lazy to check. You know how sometimes your eyes are so used to seeing different distances, having objects of different depths in the foreground compared to the background, that when you take away everything in the foreground, your eyes go nuts? My depth perception and my visual field was so overwhelmed at that moment that I had trouble positioning myself relative to my surroundings. Yet, I was calm, for in that disorientated state, I felt my LORD’s hand beneath me, suspending me in that elevated sensation. I lifted my right hand with my fingers stretched towards the blue.
I could touch it!
“I could touch it!” I said, laughing, with the One who met me there.
