And on the 8th day….
On the sixth day God created land animals and human beings, and on the seventh he rested having completed the heavens and earth. But on the 8th day…..
In the depths of
Alaska, a deer steps on a twig and jumps as it snaps, it looks skyward for meaning. A shepherd looks over a plain in
Morocco and lights his pipe, he looks at the stars and wonders what they are for. A great white shark off the cape in
South Africa stops attacking a hapless surfer, its cold black eyes look to the surface at a light beam shining down. Its jaws hang open in wonder, and the surfer struggles free and limp swims back to his ravaged board.
Creatures, children, me and women around the world, on the 8th day the record for consecutive days without drink was broken. That wasn’t over the top was it?
