Prayer is like watching for the kingfisher
by Ann Lewin
Prayer is like watching for the kingfisher.
All you can do is
be
there where he is likely to appear, and
wait.
Often nothing much happens;
there
is space, silence and
expectancy.
No visible signs, only the
knowledge
that he’s been there
and
may come again.
Seeing or not seeing cease to matter,
You
have been prepared.
But
when you’ve almost stopped
expecting
it, a flash of brightness
gives
encouragement.
