Oh dear! I've just gotten two requests to keep blogging! What shall I do? THANK YOU, Nellie and Betty!
Okay, I will....THAT was a short sabbatical!
I wanted, anyway, to share this opening from the most recent episode of Call the Midwife, Season 5. Each story always opens with a voiceover from the mature Jenny, the original midwife in earlier seasons.
A sense of community is the Holy Grail of modern living. When we cannot find it in the present day, we reach back through the years and say, "That was when we knew each other. That's when we had all things in common.." It is a thought so tender and consoling that it scarcely matters if it is not true. Past perfection is a wondrous thing.
