Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought
From the Reverend Richard Coles:Μύ
The B word is banned in our Vicarage. Not because everyone’s sick to death of Brexit, but because of the dogs. We have four very lively dachshunds and the cue word for their feed in the morning is breck-breck. I wake up every day to the news headlines on the wireless, and as we flip from Westminster to Brussels and back again, every time it’s mentioned they howl and start drooling on the duvet. A solution would be to switch it off, but I find the political drama fascinating, with more twists and turns than a boxset; and if it were simply a drama, I might simply enjoy it.Μύ
Alas, it’s real, and the consequences fill us with anxiety, and that makes us volatile and angry - and that I really would like to switch off. I (sort of) have, by giving up Social Media for Lent. For a heavy user like me, it’s quite a sacrifice, and for the first couple of days I’m as twitchy as a new non-smoker, and anxiously keep picking up my phone while my thumbs twitch involuntarily. But before long the twitchiness decreases, and as the days turn into weeks my surging blood pressure subsides, I shout less at the television, I am unwontedly gracious turning right from Bell Hill onto the A510 in the rush hour.Μύ
Sometimes Social Media can feel like your head’s in a biscuit tin being pelted with stones. When it feels like that, withdraw. Resist the temptation to follow every thread, to feed your own indignation and outrage, and add to the aggro. Walk the dog. Smell the flowers. Crochet a hammock for a marmoset. Do whatever it takes to restore your equanimity, not to dodge the tough questions we’re all facing right now, but to deal with them better, with circumspection, and forbearance, and patience.Μύ
Because eventually this will be over. This crisis, like every other, will fade and pass. And when it does we are going to have to look at each across the divisions that have opened up like crevasses in a calving glacier and start to reconcile. We must not lose sight of what lies beyond the clamour of politics and the drama of the present moment, the values that transcend our non negotiables and passionate convictions; on these we build our common life. And the time for that is always now.
