Thought for the Week: The eye of the beholder

G Gordon Steel reflects on the ability to perceive truth and beauty

A Friend was moved and delighted, while on holiday in Scotland, to see a red squirrel and she told us about it in Meeting. I was glad to hear of her joy. She is a Friend who often finds inspiration in the world around her. As you might imagine, she went on to thank God for the red squirrels. I don’t know what she feels about their grey brethren but I do know Friends who express anger about them.
