Halcyon Sancta


I have just had one of those supremely heart soaring moments, which are all the more powerful because they are so unexpected.

Moments ago, walking up my long driveway, I paused to look at a lazy moon, still in view (it is 10am). Directly in my gaze, sitting in front of the moon, on my neighbour's electricity wire was a kingfisher. Halcyon Sancta.

He was oblivious to me and to my large cat as we both stood stock still and gazed at him. What a precious experience. My heart is still beating fast.

It will be a Halcyon day

One of those moments when one is awe struck. At times like that one wonders who sent it and why me?
