A few weeks ago, I received a phone call from my son. I could hardly hear his voice and asked why he was speaking in such a low whisper. He told me he was taking a hike by himself and had come across two beautiful doe grazing in a lovely field. He watched them quietly as they fed for a long time. He described the field, the doe, and the trees. It was simple, exquisite beauty--an awesome sight; and he wanted to share it with someone, so he called me. I could hear from the tone of his soft voice that the moment was magical.
How privileged I felt to have him want to share this tender moment with me. My heart thrilled and tears filled my eyes as he described every detail of the field, the trees, the doe, and even the slight breeze. It was breathtaking! What a shame it would have been to have missed that special moment with my son. The simplicity of the experience was precious to my soul. How grateful I am that he embraced the moment and then desired to share it with me.
