Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought
From Nick Baines, the Bishop of Leeds:聽
Well, Glastonbury seems to have gone well. I caught up with bits of it on the telly, but would love to have been there. Instead, I found myself a few days ago speaking at the launch of a literature festival. I didn鈥檛 know I was speaking until shortly before it began. So, I cast around a bit for an opener and landed on Billy Ocean ... if you see what I mean. I was once in a studio with him and was waiting for him to launch into 鈥榃hen the going gets tough the tough get going鈥�, but he didn鈥檛.聽
So, I offered: 鈥淲hen the going gets tough the tough ... write poetry.鈥� He laughed. What I was getting at was that I grew up thinking poetry was a bit wussy - a bit indulgent and fancy - only to discover that it鈥檚 actually the poets who deal with the hard stuff of life. And you can include lyricists in that, too. Because they use words and images that get behind the defences and have the power to move and surprise us, shining a different light on something we take for granted or think is just 鈥榥ormal鈥�.聽
It鈥檚 no coincidence, then, that the books I read every day - those that make up the Bible - are full of poetry. Jesus never defined the kingdom of God; he just kept saying 鈥淚t鈥檚 like this...鈥� and offered a story or image. And he knew that once you have told a story or evoked a picture, you鈥檝e also given it away and lost control over what people might do with it. If poetry enables me to look differently, to see differently, and to think differently about God, the world and people, then it shouldn鈥檛 come as a surprise that scriptures are full of it. The poets tease the imagination and dig into the complex experiences and emotions of people鈥檚 lives.聽
They refuse to let us get away with compartmentalising - you know, keeping your mind in one box, faith in another, experience in another. The poets hold us together. As Leonard Cohen famously put it: 鈥淩ing the bells that still can ring. Forget your perfect offering. There is a crack in everything - that鈥檚 how the light gets in鈥�
