“Given that Rorate Coeli and Shea are mad at Fr. Z, I think it proves Fr. Z knows what he is doing and he is right.”

"Let me be clear. Fr. Z is a shock jock, mostly. His readership is vast and touchy. They like to be provoked and react with speed and fury."

They know and accept, by instinct, that which we, are given the grace to choose. God’s Will. Not everyone, sees it as a grace. Yet.
It is poetic but poignant in reminding how ephemeral is our worldly pilgrimage. I was reflecting of this same subject today as I posted http://divine-ripples.blogspot.com/2010/10/think-of-this-and-youll-live-fully.html While heaven is our home, I still will grieve when it is my time to go – just like the swallows when they leave you in the Fall.
Swallows…….I can’t help thinking about “yan wo tan” (swallow’s nest soup)
I thought perhaps you were making a reference to Oscar Wilde’s wonderful short story “The Happy Prince.”
I have never seen swallows roost but whilst in Swansea, Wales I did see this bird roosting:

A most Illustrious bird.
Having just commented on my own funeral in a previous post about vestment colors, I guess the ultimate migration is on a lot of minds today.
Perhaps the swallows–like those of us who frequent this blog–roosted near you because they found shelter, security, mystery, beauty, rest, nourishment, and welcome . . . .
Thank you for this beautiful interlude of poetry in the middle of my day, Father.
No swallows there, but I am SO missing central WI this time of year! This is the week of my birthday and around the first of the month I always become acutely aware that the year has slipped away again…but I so enjoy the beauty of autumn. The very word makes me wistful.
The swallows left this area weeks ago. It is so sad. I love them. Some used to “buzz” my big cat, if he got outside. I am afraid the birds are telling us we are in for a long, hard, winter, although today in Iowa, the temperature was 75F and tomorrow it is supposed to get up to 80F.
