It is not the healthy that need the doctor.

But the sick.

We ask , do we have a celestial doctor.

For us whether as the dead or the quick.

I was standing by the Lincolnshire chalk stream.

Full of life yet so narrow and stream shallowed.

So much beauty in so little it would seem.

Here is nature truly hallowed.

The glancing  flickering sunlight .

The deep and lighter shadows.

Here all seems ordained, calm and right.

And far away  the yellowing , harvest to come, meadows.

Here is the best doctor to cure any illness.

It is in endless cycle of nature in its stillness.

……..

It’s not the healthy

That needs the doctor for now

But it is the sick

…….

See Matthew 9 : 9-13
