Some say “God has a
plan for you.” But I say,
“There is no plan. There is
no meaning we find;
only the meaning we make.”
But how do 12 Bald Eagles circle
overhead during simultaneous
memorial services for the slain
children of Red Lake – six over
Red Lake; six over Saint Paul?
Why does the Egret wading in
the pond suddenly stop its fishing
and fly across to the window on
the other side where a mother
grieves her daughter’s death?
Are you and I the only makers
of meaning or is there Another
outside or inside of nature,
a Meaning-Maker inside, between
and among everything that is?

Eagles and Egrets – we are too often oblivious to the world around us in our quest for what?

Joshua, the best teacher I ever had was a Swenson. Esther Swenson taught philosophy at Maryville College. Her husband, Bill, taught Art. Out of curiosity, what brought you to Views from the Edge?
