1. Who me?
One day when I was driving alone in Alberta in Western Canada, I was
overcome by the beauty of the land around me. I was in the foothills
of the Rockies but the impression of prairie was still present. When
I looked to the distance I saw the big sky. Then, when I turned the
car to the west, I saw the beginning of the mountains that would soon
hide the setting sun.
For some reason my sensitivity of the moment was razor sharp. I was
marvelling at the beauty that was round me. I was lost in wonder at
the colours and the shapes, at the stretch of the fields and at the
play of the light. In that moment what I wanted above all was to
share my joy. Because this was impossible, I felt very lonely and a
little sad until I realised that what was happening was that God was
fleetingly sharing his joy in creation with me.
I have entitled these reflections "Who me?". Even though
they are often about me, I have written them for you, to remind you
of the times that God shared his joys, his sorrows and his life with you.
