Pause For Thought
From swimsuits to snowsuits, sliders to wellies, it’s like the seasons are reversing, because I feel like I’m right back in winter. And they’re not the only ones turning back the clock, because I’ve spent this weekend with my head buried inside a memory box I made when I was 12. Inside is a musty copy of Arthur Ransome’s ‘Swallows and Amazons’, a withered purple thistle, and a fuzzy-little-lamb-soft-toy (who’s had a long old winter with limited reading). This weekend marks 15 years since my lovely Dad passed away, and opening this box is how I pay him tribute. Everything in it is significant - the book for his love of stories, the thistle, his proud Scottish roots, and the little lamb, his term of affection for me.

But what’s most significant about this box is not its contents, but that I made it when I was twelve, and didn’t reopen it until my twenties. Back then, my little world couldn’t digest a pain so big, and sometimes I wonder if I made this physical box as a way of literally packing-up my grief. As writer CS Lewis says, “it’s easier to say ‘My tooth is aching’ than to say ‘My heart is broken.’ But, as time ticked on, I stayed stuck, because in suppressing pain, it so easily dominates - feeling sad, when you should be happy, seeing darkness in the world, when it’s full of light, feeling absent, when you were made to be present.Ìý

The Biblical book of Ecclesiastes says: “For everything there is a season.’ It says there’s a time to laugh and cry, dance but also grieve. In other words, every emotion demands its moment. So, at the age of 20, I finally opened it. And as I stared down at the things inside - yes, it hurt (a lot), but it weirdly filled me with joy, because out of the sadness, I began to feel gratitude for Dad’s life. And in looking back, the ability to move forward. Zoe, I believe pain isn’t meant to be kept in a box forever. Because as the weather flits between spring and winter, warmth and the freezing cold, I’m reminded that sometimes you have to go back a season, if only to make the most of the next.
