Historical Setting, 562 C.E. Gaul This great rock was surely delivered to the edge of River Liger in a time before days were counted on human fingers. Maybe it was smoothed to be a safe nest for ancient creatures and a high ground for the furry cub caught in a raging river current. WasContinue reading “Post #4.8, Thursday, January 16, 2020”

Historical Setting, 562 C.E. Gaul Blue sky, the bright of winter, syrup colors fuse surreal and today Colleta and Ezra returned from their journey bringing all varieties of news.

Historical Setting, 562 C.E. Gaul “I don’t think I care to learn to read, Papa. But surely Daniel needs to know it one day and Ezra has no time to teach him. So you should teach Daniel if you really want to make another person learn things.” “Oh, Eve, I wasn’t…” What canContinue reading “Post #4.6, Tuesday, January 14, 2020”

Historical Setting, 562 C.E. Gaul While Ezra and Colleta are away I find that the icy waters have poured through several splits in the thatch. Clearly Ezra is no expert in making a roof. Probably both cottages will need some work to be ready for more winter to come. I find he keeps a stoutContinue reading “Post #4.4, Wednesday, January 8, 2020”

Historical Setting, 562 C.E. Gaul “Papa, I’m okay. I’m feeling stronger already.” Eve is pushing back the cover and pulling herself to sitting on the edge of the bed platform. “I can send Ezra for the burial. I can stay here with you.” I feel an urgency to send Ezra on. Continue reading “Post #4.2, Thursday, January 2, 2020”

Historical Setting, 562 C.E. Gaul Despite Eve’s plea, God is with me as I carry her back in my arms as though she were still a small child. Dear God thank you for this strength. She is wrapped in a mud-soaked blanket but her cottage is well supplied for needs so it isContinue reading “Post #4.1, Wednesday, January 1, 2020”

Historical setting: 561 C.E. Gaul This day of the longest night I waken shivering in the hayloft to the roaring torrents of cold sleet tormenting this frail roof. The longest night was surely inflicted with terrors – a man yelling above the storm at Eve’s cottage door. Fully awake now I’m aware it wasContinue reading “Post #3.13, Tuesday, 12-31-2019”

Historical setting: 561 C.E. Gaul Thank you God for giggles of children, for beauty shining through old pox. Thank you God, for riches of life and for family to share in all of this. Amen. Echoing through imagination is the dark tune of the Jesus birth with all its angels, the bold star andContinue reading “Post #3.12, Thursday, December 26, 2019”
