It is quiet this morning which is what I will miss the most, the morning quiet so present God is easily heard. We will close Fair Haven this morning, she’s swept, mopped and mowed, her edges, nooks, and niches cleaned, our Eden left nicely for the forest and stream that will keep her. My cherished sleeps warmly, the morning begins, everything as it has been for months but this is the last morning of our summer. Our resident family of otters shows themselves for only the second time, a silent swirling of joy, the wildness of our beloved Haven come to say farewell. We have started something magical here, His talent of subduing this little part of his earth we are diligently multiplying but today we return it to its Master. It will for now be a weekend retreat, a fair harbor for the coming winter, a daydream in the leftover heat of harvest summer. Today we will close Fair Haven, another summer, another season of slowly creating the Eden where we will spend our last days. She is such a Godly gift, a resting before the Great Departing, a Fair Haven in our greying years.
