Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought
From comedian & writer Paul Kerensa:
I don鈥檛 know about you, but oddly being at home, I鈥檝e seen more of other people鈥檚 homes than I used to. Musicians, journalists, comedians, vicars, fitness instructors (that鈥檚 exhausting, watching my kids exercise)... More domestic vloggers than ever. It鈥檚 like Through The Keyhole gone large. Behind whoever鈥檚 presenting, it鈥檚 either bookshelves 鈥� and I do like to browse their books 鈥� or the house鈥檚 whitest wall. Yet finding those perfect backgrounds can be tricky. I watched a church minister deliver an inspiring message, against his plainest wall 鈥� but in taking down pictures, he鈥檇 revealed hooks and peeling paintwork, which clearly bothered him.聽
So he kept positioning his head to block out the blemishes, angling the camera to give a false, nicer impression. His quest for the purest cleanest background rather obstructed his message. Most of us aren鈥檛 presenting online, but we present ourselves, to our fellow humans. I鈥檓 sure we all worry what people think about us 鈥� what鈥檚 in our own backgrounds, our lives, our back stories. How we sound. Whether we鈥檝e read the right books. Does our experience, or lack of it, show? A millennium-and-a-half ago, St Augustine wrote: 鈥淭rust the past to God鈥檚 mercy, the present to God鈥檚 love, and the future to God鈥檚 providence.鈥� I suppose in other words, untarnished backgrounds are rare.聽
Ask the home-based presenters looking for that perfect wall. To begin with, our lives may have been pure, blank canvases. But life adds dents, dints, hooks and nails: family photos, corkboards with unfinished to-do lists, blemishes on the paintwork. A literal example: There鈥檚 a mark on our staircase wall, from when I tried attaching the baby鈥檚 metal stairgate. I ended up throwing it, in a sleep-deprived outburst. A decade later, that dent鈥檚 still there: a reminder, whenever I pass, that was then, this is now. I鈥檝e thrown nothing but the odd tantrum since. So I鈥檒l do my best to think less of the background, and more of the person in front of me. Forget how many books someone鈥檚 read, or any dents on their backdrop. My background鈥檚 not whiter-than-white either. Forget the imperfections behind me... I鈥檝e got imperfections ahead to think about.
