“Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.”1

In his book, Rewriting the Family Script, Roger Hillerstrom shares how “a small, Midwestern town once sponsored a coyote hunt because so many farmers were losing chickens to the predators. Fifteen hundred coyotes were killed over a single weekend.

“However, within a few months the entire community was overrun with rodents, because their natural enemy, the coyote, had been eliminated. A year after that, the rodents weren’t much of a problem, but the rattlesnakes were! Because there were so many rats and mice for them to eat, the poisonous snakes had reproduced rapidly.

“At that point, the chickens were safe, but the humans were in danger! You see, the coyotes had been an important part of the environmental system—the food chain. When one part of that system changed, other parts adapted…

Today I had the pleasure of being able to meet a friend for the first time in real life. I know this friend through these blogs and facebook and in the short time we know each other she has become very dear to me.

Today I went to Den Haag (the Hague) to meet Patty van Delft. You might know Patty from the blog Petite Magique where she posts stories, poetry and poetrics.

Easter time in Zagreb Croatia Ban Jelacic Square

Wishing you all a Happy and Peaceful and Joyous and Blessed Easter!
I have chosen a Croatian poem that I hope will bring as much meaning to you as it does to me.

I have searched for the real me a long time,
I wandered across the world that’s filled with delusions,
and searched for the light of the first cause,
of new Sun for salvation to shine.

You, allow Your goodness to lead us into

And the time is coming when joy will ignite everywhere,
for that beautiful moment my heart watches.

You, illuminate…
