Flunderina's Great Ride' is like time travel, like a meditation, reaching down deep through layers of vaulted treasure. The children are off to witnes - Paperback

by Lydia Du Toit (Author), Catherine Brennon (Illustrator)

Then the strangest thing happened - the singing

was all around them and in them.

Out came mountains and valleys and rivers with fish!

It just happened so spontaneously -

this was God singing creation into being

and they were there singing with Him,

creating too!

It felt like the most natural place to be;

it felt like this is where we all came from!

The singing continued

and in it

one could hear the

voice of God speaking:

"Light be!"

and Light was.

"Land and sea and oceans be!"

and they were -

all unfolding in the most spectacular way you could

have ever dreamed. It is beyond words; it is

God's magic!

The wonder was their voices never tired; they sang

and sang and sang.

We don't know how long this

was going on.

It felt like millions of years flashing

past them in a few hours.

Then there was silence.

It was not a scary one;

no, not one of those,

but a silence of holding one's

breath for something magnificent is about to

happen.............
