Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought
From Dave Tomlinson, writer and vicar at large:聽
On one of our walks last week, I noticed a single red tulip in the midst of a swathe of bluebells. Frankly, it looked past its best. The petals weren鈥檛 dropping yet but the flower was somewhat floppy-looking. Yet in the sunlight, its rich red glow against the bluebells looked spectacular. So, I took a picture and posted it on social media with the line: 鈥楯ust because you鈥檙e falling apart a bit doesn鈥檛 mean you鈥檙e not beautiful!鈥� Which brought a flood of 鈥榣ikes鈥� 鈥榣oves鈥� and comments. It seems an image can touch the nerve in a way that mere words cannot..
I guess it鈥檚 how most of us feel from time to time: a bit bedraggled and coming apart 鈥� on the inside even if not the outside. Yet surely, we wouldn鈥檛 be human if we didn鈥檛 experience some of that, right now. I remember in the months following my enforced retirement due to Church rules, I would be driving along the road and suddenly blurt out angrily to my wife: 鈥榃ho took my life from me?鈥櫬�
I felt hurt, bereaved and鈥rankly鈥� ready to lash out at any bishop I came across! But then there were other times when I could see the benefits in so-called 鈥榬etirement鈥�, when I realised that, actually, I was liberated 鈥� to write more, travel more, be a priest in a much less restricted fashion. It wasn鈥檛 an end; it was a new beginning. I reckon there are lots of situations in life when we can鈥檛 do what we want to do, when our plans are blocked, our freedom is restricted 鈥� when jobs, relationships, possessions, loved ones are taken from us. And I think it would be weird not to feel angry and bereft鈥ot to want to lash out in some way.聽
So, yes, I for one have moments (or days) of feeling like I鈥檓 falling apart a bit, when I blurt out that someone has taken my life away. But then I remind myself that, actually, my life is still here 鈥� whether in retirement, lockdown or whatever 鈥� and that instead of pining for the past or longing for the future I need to embrace now. Because this is my life. And it is beautiful, even when falling apart a bit.
