Day 18 - June 2, 2010 - Life Cycles



“There seems to be a kind of order in the universe, in the movement of the stars and the turning of the earth and the changing of the seasons, and even in the cycle of human life." ~Katherine Anne Porter

C.S. Lewis used to live beside the lake where we found these cute little guys. He and his brother would come to the lake for early morning swims. Springtime has just passed, so there were several varieties of baby animals about the area. I’m sure when C.S. Lewis used to visit the pond, he saw babies just like these. The ducklings there now are probably the great, great, great grandchildren of the ducks that he saw over 70 years ago. Who knows? Life continues on in a great cycle. I often reflect upon the fact that my grandparents were, at one time, in their twenties. I’ve only known them as fully matured adults. They were like me 50 years ago. Life is funny like that.
