Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought
From Laura Marks, a campaigner for social action and interfaith relationships.聽
There is an old joke that asks what鈥檚 the difference between a Jewish mother and a Rottweiler. Eventually, the Rottweiler lets go.聽So imagine how delighted I was this week when the university term officially ended and I was able to drive up the motorway and scoop my daughter and her pile of possessions up, and take them back home.After a covid-trunkated year, Sally鈥檚 crumpled clothes, makeup mountain, cushion with a picture of Louis Theroux, non-meat saucepans, pots of curly hair potions, and a barely used baking tray took meticulous sorting. 聽With painstaking planning, we squeezed everything into my car which is designed for empty-nesting parents not as a substitute for a transit van. 聽 聽聽
Fortified with cream cheese bagels and strong flat whites, we recycled piles of papers rescued from under the bed including; Get the most from freshers week (a bit late now), staying safe on campus (luckily well read), and how to access the gym (no chance). 聽 聽 More precious were Sally鈥檚 socially distanced doorstep goodbyes with friends from every faith, country and background. Each was captured with a digital click, and left us with some observations about career, personal or emotional challenges in this shaken and unpredictable world. 聽 聽 Whilst triumphant in whisking Sally back to the family fold, I couldn鈥檛 escape two glaring truths. 聽The first was that whilst she may be headed home now, next term or next year, and like her brothers, Sally will move away again. 聽 聽
鈥淛ewish wisdom holds that our children don鈥檛 belong to us,鈥� wrote American psychologist Wendy Mogel. 聽鈥淭hey are both a loan and a gift from God, and the gift has strings attached. Our job is to raise our children to leave us鈥� 聽 聽And the second truth was knowing that this carload of Sally鈥檚 accumulated stuff, was headed straight for my tidy, suburban, living room floor. 聽 Later, as she drove off, in my car, for a summer adventure with friends, I set out on my own next journey, with Sally鈥檚 permission, to deliver a few of her now ironed clothes, to the charity shop. Her Louis Theroux cushion, however, is obviously extremely useful so I鈥檒l just keep it right here with me, snuggled on my sofa till Sally comes home to re-claim him. 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽
