Maybe it's just me.
And if so, I'm okay with that and absolutely welcome the reminder.
Lord knows I've looked back on my life at times and have only seen a train wreck....
I just had a vision of an actual train wreck. Three engines. Countless cars. Even a caboose. Gnarled into the most ominous mess. It had been there for many many many years. No one ever even bothered to remove it from the tracks....
From a distance it was hideous and frightening.
But upon closer inspection there were birds of all sizes and colors who had made their homes in the nooks and crannies.
Rabbits had birthed the young in the lower cars... The stuffing from the Conductors seat would be the first thing their little noses would nuzzle.
Bees had moved their hive into the caboose and the hum could be heard for miles.
Honeysuckle was growing in every which way in and out and up and around. Morning glory too.
Sunflowers and poppies poked their lovely faces around the jagged metal as if to say 'Peek A Boo!'.
Spider webs like lace shimmered in the sunlight and grasshoppers jumped in every direction among the long grass that had grown.
Life.
There was life everywhere.
Beautiful life moving in and making beautiful something that had been a nightmare.
Redemption.
This is redemption.
