Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought
From the Reverend Richard Coles:听
I鈥檝e always loved Antiques Roadshow, partly for the paintings and the pots and the pedestal tables, but mostly for the ritualised responses of the Great British Public; going ooh when a valuation is given which the donor obviously thought would be the price of a car, but turns out to be barely enough for a weekend in Hunstanton; when it actually does turn out be worth the price of a car, and they say they鈥檇 never sell it, but we all know it鈥檒l be on eBay in an hour; and partly for the extraordinary outfits the experts wear, as if they鈥檙e auditioning to be the next Dr Who. ... but last Sunday I realised I was looking at it greedily not for the things people had brought, but just for the people - the crowds, in anoraks, and unsuitable specs, and slacks, because after a month of lockdown, normal is now precious.听
It reminded me of when I moved to live in the country after years of living in London. The peace and quiet I had so craved needed to balanced out by noise and movement, so I used to go to the Superstore on the A14 and spend an hour pushing an empty trolley around, before finally buying Kettering鈥檚 only copy of the Times Literary Supplement. The shop鈥檚 still there, still open, but the crowd is now dispersed, necessarily so, and we tread the empty, orderly aisles like Victorian prisoners in the exercise yard. Maybe one of the lessons we鈥檒l learn from this is how much we need each other; not just to provide the necessities of life, or to enable us to earn a living, or just to kick a ball with, but to be who we are.听
We like to think of ourselves, don鈥檛 we, as independent, self-sufficient, authors of our fate, heroes of our story. But we are, in reality, connected; part of something greater than ourselves, and that means yielding, and giving, and stepping aside, to serve a common good. In my father鈥檚 house, says Jesus, there are many dwelling places - not a heaven of solitary bliss, in flower-filled meadows, but streets of houses, shops, parks, pubs, cinemas, stadiums - not the hell of other people, but the joy of the crowd.
