spiritual synchronicity

I was at the Greenbelt Christian Arts Festival in Cheltenham a few years ago, sitting on the grass in front of the main stand listening to Mike Yaconelli, the American pastor and inspirational speaker, a regular Greenbelt favourite, making what was to be his last vist to the festival before his death in a car crash.

At one point, a flock of doves appeared over the crowd, wheeling and turning in the bright sunlight, the sun flashing off the underside of their wings as they performed this amazing aerobatic display.

Everyone stopped to watch the doves. It was breathtakingly beautiful.

I can't think of a better way to remember a warm and funny man like Mike than to think of that scene. It's something I'll never forget.
