NO POSSIBILITY OF FORGETTING

While out doing some necessary things this morning, one of those cool moments happened. Out in front of me in the distance, a flock of snow geese broke out of several different V-formations and formed into one whole. This beautiful and wild like choreographed-grey-to-white-flowing-back-and-forth-dance happened out in front of me as I was driving towards them. And just moments before they would have been right above me they broke out of that dance and with such ease and grace formed several different groups once again and headed off in V-formations.

What made it even more interesting was Over The Rhine's beautiful/haunting song Fireflies had just begun to play. From the first time I heard this song the line that is repeated over and over...My memory will not fail me now...has stuck with me. It came into my life during a huge transformational season. I later heard Linford explain the idea that gave birth to the song. It speaks of learning something so deeply that forgetting it is no longer a possibility. I love that.

The song playing along with what was actually happening with the snow geese in front of me was beyond cool. The snow geese have learned something sooooo deeply that makes the migratory process such a natural rhythm for them. And yet they have the freedom to improvise. How beautiful is that!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh that living in such a dependent relationship with the Creator through the Spirit would become so natural feeling to us and that we would come into concert with that natural rhythm.

You can listen to the song here
