I find comfort

I’ve heard the phrase “to find comfort in blab la bla” Especially in insurance adverts. “You’ll find comfort in knowing your family will be taken care of” But today I actually found comfort. I was at work, typing up the liturgy for a funeral, when I heard peeping outside the window. I looked out and saw a male cardinal (the bird, not the Papal Assistant kind – I work for an Episcopal cathedral, we don’t have Cardinals, only Bishops, Priests & Deacons) Yes a bright red chirping cardinal bird hopping around outside me window. Watching him filled my heart with cheer. A few feet away on a wooden bench, there were 4 cats, all curled up around each other creating a big, squishy ball of kitty. One lifted its head, regarded the cardinal, then dozed off to sleep again in the morning sun.

For a minute or two, I was right there with them, drowsy and relaxed in the morning sun, watching a colorful cardinal flitting around. I found comfort. There is was.

Now I am back at work, typing & answering questions. But I can still hear that cardinal, and I know where comfort is.
