Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought

It鈥檚 been a longish week, as weeks in January are wont to be. There have been the usual dark, early morning bike rides and bus journeys to get to work. So, no change there. But yesterday my boy Silas went off on the travels he鈥檚 been planning forever, and although he鈥檚 happy, I won鈥檛 see him until I know not when, so I am sad.听My partner Susie has had Covid and while she鈥檚 testing positive, we are avoiding each other in the house, wearing masks, living in parallel but not quite together.听It all feels rather grey and gloomy. The other day, I went to the cellar, to fetch a spanner but also hide for a bit, so I closed the door and turned out the light.

听

I鈥檓 not exactly sure why I was seeking the darkness - perhaps as a change from the uniform, grey gloom - but I was. Thing is, our cellar isn鈥檛 really a cellar. It鈥檚 just a space under the hall, so when I turned off the light it wasn鈥檛 really dark. The light came in through the cracks between the floorboards. It wasn鈥檛 a lot of light, though.听听I could see it, but it was still dark so when I looked up to where it peeped through, I banged my head on a joist. So, I turned the light back on. This weekend, Christians all over the world will be thinking about light and celebrating the light that we believe Jesus brings into the world. We call this celebration Candlemas and for centuries it鈥檚 when people have blessed the candles they need to make light for the rest of the year.

听

Because although we know that light will always come, as Spring follows winter, it鈥檚 no good just to sit in the darkness while we鈥檙e waiting.听听When it鈥檚 dark we have to invite the light in. It鈥檚 why I look to my friends when things get difficult. It鈥檚 why I go to the football, why I call my Mum, why I listen to Bach and the Beatles. Because all those lights are there for us to make.听听And they鈥檙e what stop me banging my head when the world feels like a cellar where the cracks between the floorboards are just too small.
