Pause for Thought

Pause for Thought

From Leslie Griffiths, Methodist Minister:

Stardom and celebrity must be difficult for their victims to manage. The paparazzi buzz around, the cameras and microphones follow their every movement, glitz and glamour, brilliance and scandal, - all feed the insatiable appetites of you and me. With all that PR, celebrities can easily be made to seem one dimensional figures. I end up wanting to know what they’re like at breakfast time, or with their kids, or hoovering the lounge.

Bernard Weatherill – known to his friends as Jack, was once Speaker of the House of Commons. He always looked wonderful in his glad rags, all toffed up, parading proudly at some State occasion or other. He was the son of a tailor and once told me how he always kept a thimble in his trouser pocket. This allowed him, on the grandest occasions, just by putting his hand in his pocket, to remember who he was and where he’d come from. It stopped all that other stuff going to his head.

And what about this? A friend of mine in deepest Cornwall has a neighbour called Sally Fleetwood. She’s the sister of Mick Fleetwood of Fleetwood Mac. They’re in the public eye just now because, all together again after years of difficulty, they’ve begun a huge US tour. Sally told my friend that her brother, surely one of the best drummers on the circuit, got interested in drums through his father who, of all things, played the spoons. I love the thought of father and son playing spoons together; it somehow makes a star like Mick Fleetwood so much more human.

Spoons and a thimble, tiny details, give us glimpses through the razzmatazz, deeper than the public image, of those who get into the news. And they remind us that all of us need to remember who we are, deep, deep down in our deepest selves, beyond the reach of cameras and microphones. That’s where God knows us. That’s where we’re really real.
