We encounter this miracle every day but ’not all the people know that.’ I want to finish by one more story. It really happened. In 1812 after the victory over Napoleon the Russian Senate wanted to bestow on the Emperor Alexander I the title of the Blessed. If he had accepted he would have been mentioned in a daily prayer by every Russian Christian. The Emperor politely declined, stating, ’When we are with God, God is with us.’ Amen.
A writer is a rogue goose. All other gees fly in a flock formation; every goose knows his place and time for honking. The rogue goose is undisciplined. He leaves the formation indiscriminately to have a look at it from aside. He roams back and forth, takes a peep at the leader, honks a little bit from behind, distracts everyone and writes on what he sees. Time passes and as he wants to return back to his place he discovers someone else there. Thus he either has to wait until they land for rest or join another flock in emigration. Those other birds could be cranes, storks or even crows. If he makes it he will become a rogue again. Whenever he goes and whatever he writes he never reaches a destination or enjoys a landing.
