A few days ago we received a Christmas card from a friend whom I taught with in the room next to mine for many years. The front of the card was a painting from my friend Neil while on the rear was a poem written by Henry Vaughan which reads:
PEACE
"My soul, there is a country
Far beyond the stars,
Where stands a winged sentry
There above noise and danger
Sweet peace sits crowned with smiles,
And one born in a manger
Commands the beauteous files."
It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary day.
