What is all this juice and all this joy?*

by chuckofish

This is a beautiful time of year in flyover country. Everything is popping, the bugs are not omnipresent and the humidity has not set in yet. The grass is so green and plush!

But look what we have had across the street for going on three weeks!

I feel like we have an Imperial Walker parked in front of our house! It is quite alarming. And good grief this street “improvement” has been going on since before Christmas!

The view out my office window:

Lovely.

But we count it all joy, friends, don’t we? Well, we try to.

I thought that this was a good piece on the Christian response to cultural catastrophe.

You’ve got to take the bitter with the sweet.

*Gerard Manley Hopkins, “Spring”
