I woke to the sound of crickets. It was one of those perfect fall nights, cool enough to sleep with the windows open. Did the crickets wake me or something else?
I remember thinking: I know so little about the cricket. Do they make noise all the time? Why? Can they sleep and make noise at the same time? Do they take turns- some sleep, some chirp? How do they ‘do’ life’? In packs? In herds? By themselves unless it is mating season? They are SO loud.
But as I began to write about them in the early hours of dawn, it was hard to hear them.
I am writing some this month for our church's advent blog. You can read the rest of this post along with some other great ones on this week's theme Expect Peace here:
