Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought
From Rae Duke, Religion and Ethics teacher and broadcaster.聽
A few weeks ago I did something I haven鈥檛 done since school. It wasn鈥檛 sliding the tables back an inch every time the maths teacher turned his back, ending up with our desks flush against the wall. Nor was it sneaking sweets into church services. And neither was it the rebellious act (though to us only genius at the time) of bringing in a toasted sandwich maker, finding an empty classroom and transforming our humble cheese and tomato sarnies into golden, temptingly warm lunch treats. (I鈥檓 still so grateful that smoke alarm never did detect us!) It was, however, roller-blading.聽
A couple of decades ago I used to spend hours zooming around on a pair of inline skates 鈥� I loved it. But I鈥檝e grown a little rusty on those underfoot wheels since and only just managed to avoid pavement tumbles. I鈥檓 a work in progress. Regardless of the grazed knee or three it might take to get there, I felt like this was the right moment, what with the gift of time some of us have been given, to ditch the relative comfort of a walk or a jog and instead attempt to glide my way back to the glory days of skating. (If not now, then when? and all that鈥�) One of my favourite quotes of all time is attributed to the great Christian writer William Shedd. He said this: 鈥淎 ship is safest in the harbour, but that鈥檚 not what a ship is built for.鈥澛�
At the moment, all of us have left the safety of harbour and life as we knew it. We鈥檙e uncomfortably out at sea. Whether making difficult decisions to help keep a business alive, turning hands to home schooling, or doing as Richie鈥檚 doing and getting the low down on a wholly different kind of travel 鈥� everything鈥檚 at sixes and sevens. Of course the image of leaving a safe harbour feels even more of a fit for essential workers, particularly our NHS staff. I believe these weeks/months are providing a pause to contemplate what we were (and weren鈥檛) made for. What we long to rush back to and the stuff we鈥檒l be lighter and brighter without. Perhaps it鈥檚 also who we were made for, as its clear that we were built for connection. That, and a spot of roller-skating!
