As you may know, I love reading! Summer is a great time for spending some time in a new or favourite book or two. I've got a stash of new books to read over the holidays. I'm also pondering an image that has stayed with me from reading last year's Booker Prize winning novel - Orbital by Samantha Harvey. The passage is where the author talks about how Earth looks from space - borderless except those between land and sea. Isn't that a beautiful idea to contemplate as the devastating war in Gaza and the brutal invasion of Ukraine continue. If only, we - as a human race - could accept the right of our neighbours to live life freely and safely, and they did the same, there would be no squabbling over land and no desire to extend our borders. Nothing would separate us as humans or as God's children. We could live as one. Do this summer take the time to dip into a good book or two, and to take a God's eye view of this wonderful world of ours.
Have a relaxing and refreshing summer break.
God bless,
Revd Katrina
