I’ve got no more space in my head…. Today there has been unprecedented public demonstrations in every time zone starting in the east Pacific and still unfolding now ( late in the evening here in the UK)on the western edge of the Americas. I can’t remember a globally coordinated action like this ever before. I took no part in it, and yet it was about the future of our planet…the global climate strike. There was simply too much in the forefront of my mind that took up my attention and time; all activities related to helping others, encouraging spiritual growth, pastoral visiting and care. Like (nearly) everyone else I know the Climate Emergency is way past serious. Yet I can’t quite bring myself to actually give a few hours of my time to protest in ways that many of my friends (and some fellow clergy) have done today. I hadn’t thought of putting it in my diary ahead of time…to be honest I hadn’t really clocked it was happening...
stillpoint is an offering and a space for busy people doing life and faith. A 5 minute read will hopefully stimulate thought and reflection on how the ordinary details of life can be shot through with wonder and significance. For folk within church, and those getting by perfectly fine without, there should be something here for all of you. After all, we only have this "one, wild, wonderful life" so let's celebrate it.
