Peace 2

Those who like happy endings look away now. The white racing-pigeon of peace (OK it wasn't a dove) has made some creature a very pleasant breakfast and the Old Rectory lawn has a display of feathers, blood and a skeleton. It was old, tired and not fit enough to survive. We'd better search for another metaphor to provide our spiritual sustenance. This one has ceased to be.

Oh I don't know. God's involvement in the material world was always about risk and vulnerability. Seems fitting in a rather sad way.

Can't help being reminded of that scene at the beginning of Mars Attacks ...
