    It was Rabbi Nachman of Bratzlav who one day

    noticed one of his followers rushing about in the

    marketplace, busy with the ordinary affairs of the

    day.

    Nachman came up to him. Haikel, he said, you

    are so busy. Tell me what have you seen here

    today?

    Oh, Rabbi, Haikel answered, I have seen

    merchants selling, peasants buying, just the usual

    business of the market on a very busy day.

    But Haikel, said Nachman, have you taken

    time to notice the sky? The sky is beautiful today.What is the use of all this rushing and bustling

    about, if you dont take time to look at the sky?

    A psalmist once looked at the sky and wrote, O

    Lord, our Lord, how majestic is thy name.When

    I look at thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the

    moon and the stars which thou hast established

    O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is thy name in all

    the earth! (Ps. 8:1, 3, 9).

    In another story, it was told of the Magid

    (preacher) of Mezritch that he began each day by

    walking down to the pond at dawn and staying

    there for a while. Why does your master do this?

    one of his followers was asked. He goes down to

    the pond each morning to listen to the songs with

    which the frogs praise God, the Hasid replied.

    He wants to learn them, and it takes a long time

    to learn those songs.

    Look at the birds of the air, Jesus said. When

    you look at the bird, you are looking at a

    theologian, said Luther. Birds keep busy building

    their nests and gathering their food and they never

    let worry about tomorrow rob them of their song.

    God, our Creator:

    Field and fountain, vale and mountain,

    Flowery meadow, flashing sea,

    Chanting bird and flowing fountain

    Call us to rejoice in thee. Amen

    May our good God bless you all,

    With prayerful regards,

    Mothy Achen
