Chris' Pause For Thought: Jim Harris

Chris' Pause For Thought: Jim Harris

Art Historian, Dr Jim Harris

This has been the last big festival weekend of the summer, the last holiday hurrah before reverting to routine.Β  For you, Chris - Carfest South. For me – the Christian arts festival - Greenbelt.Β  Different events, same struggles; same desire for the most fun possible before heading back to school and work, same mud, same fear of extreme tent and relationship meltdown.

At my 'home' festival, Greenbelt, I have the happy task of introducing bands, a job I love and one which comes with the huge privilege of access - to great artists, great views and, frankly, nice loos.

However, the evening before Greenbelt opened I was denied access by two stewards because I wasn't wearing a high vis vest.

Now, among my least appealing and charming characteristics is a tendency to get indignant and impatient if I'm denied something I think is my right.

There was the time I threw one at Stansted Airport because my bag was too heavy. And the time I literally screamed at a van driver who encroached on the bike space at the lights at the bottom of Effra Road.

Sorry Check- in Lady. Sorry Van Man.Β  Because it's not just unappealing, it's appalling and I was appalling to the stewards. Not shouty or sweary but snippy and a bit sarky, although they were dead right and I was dead wrong.

Sometimes I think I'm about four years old.

But as I stomped off, I thought about King David in the Bible. He was an entitled man, but he knew he had a quick temper and needed correcting so he prayed a wise prayer: 'Set a guard over my mouth Lord...and let a righteous man rebuke me - it is oil on my head'.

So, feeling a little chastened, I went back to apologise to that righteous man and woman - the two stewards. They couldn't have been more gracious. It was oil on my head and the rest of Greenbelt was fantastic - even the mud.

As I head back to work and the children go back to school, I know I'll lose it again, very soon, over something very pointless and I should remember King David and the Stewards (good name for a band). Because I reckon those simple prayers are really important - help me mind my mouth, let me be gently corrected occasionally.Β  They can help us live not just our summer lives but our regular, back-to-school lives, in our regular communities, lovingly and well.
