Out with the old

It is never as strange as you might seem leaving a place of work and then going back to it the very next week to continue what you were supposed to leave.

Everyone says goodbye, you get the card and (actually a very nice bottle of whisky) and off you toddle. Strange then when you return to finish what you were supposed to do that everyone keeps saying, ‘oh, I thought you’d left!’

Such is life. But leaving everything behind is not as unpleasant as it seems to start with. Bills came in today that I know I wont see paid, that at least gave me a sense of departure, but mostly it is the comforting feeling that nothing will be the same again. Comforting? Well, yes, really. The end of the end can only be described as an opportunity to begin again. New friends, new places, and no paperwork, well not much, well not the same, well more interesting paperwork anyway!

    The wind in the willows. This mornings reflection was a reading from wind in the willows and it captured in me a little something. I’m not even sure what the little something was, but I do not want that feeling to die. It was present in a cool, fresh air that was in the chapel. It was in the calm white wall reflecting the candle light. It was in the soft tones of the two people reading from the book. It was, it was as if we were not alone. The feeling did not leave as we left the chapel, life was going on around, the cars rolling along Cardiff Road as every morning, yet there was a difference. There was a little something extra there this morning, a rare presence, but beautifully calm. The last time I felt like that was in the Chapel at the Anglican chaplaincy in bangor during a exhibition of sculpture by John Meirion Morris, the music (Tavener) and the images were very profound!
