These two  blessed little creatures were born in our

sanctuary garden and delighted all of us who watched them grow.

What a perfect place to  witness the unfolding of Spirit's work.

The Hummingbird

by Harry Kemp

The sunlight speaks.  And it's voice is a bird:

It glitters half-guessed half seen half-heard

Above the flower bed. Over the lawn ...

A flashing dip and it is gone.

And all it lends to the eye is this --

A sunbeam giving the air a kiss.
