When all is lost, something wild will find you.*
Patrick Ness
What if, in our 60s, we weren’t fretting about leaving a legacy but beginning one.**
David Sinclair
… and maybe it’s just beginning;
My favourite words from a psalm declare:
I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made …
In your book were written all the days that were formed for me,
when none of them as yet existed^ –
I hold this for every person,
Their wildness, if you like,
Fearful and wonderful,
More than a force of nature,
Perhaps finally doing what
they have always wanted to.
The days don’t degrade,
Each holding possibility for us
to pour our wildness into,
Removing the unnecessary,
Pruned back for fruitfulness.^^
