Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought

From Dr Jim Harris, Art Historian:

听Yesterday, my holiday began.

听I didn鈥檛 get up early. I didn鈥檛 ride my bike to Victoria.听 I didn鈥檛 catch the bus to Oxford.

I lay in bed till 8 o鈥檆lock. I had coffee. I watered the pots in the garden, ate some sultana bran, sat at the kitchen table and all was well.

听And then the two nice men who are doing up the flat next-door started drilling.

听They drilled a lot. They drilled loudly.They drilled the wall adjoining the kitchen where I was enjoying my quiet morning.

听And then they started sanding the floor. They sanded eagerly. They sanded with both vim and vigour.

听They sanded with precisely the same level of enthusiasm with which I cursed them.

听The thing is, as surely as someone is starting their holiday every day, so too someone is sanding a floor 鈥� or waiting at tables, building a road or tending a field.听 The world is not on holiday with me.听 It is working and resting every hour of every day.

听Fifty years ago today, Apollo 11 was launched, taking humans on the greatest journey anyone had ever made 鈥� to the moon. Yet one of the experiences shared by the early astronauts was a new sense not of that bold new horizon but of this earth.

听For the first time, they saw our planet as it really is - a single entity, relatively small, its inhabitants living close together; sleeping, waking, on holiday, at work, each of them connected.

听Christians believe that God is involved in all of that, making and remaking the world, creating and recreating us, day in, day out.

听And for Buzz Aldrin, that vision made him literally pause for thought so that, just before stepping out of the lunar module, he took bread and wine and invited 鈥榚very person listening in, whoever and wherever they may be, to [鈥 give thanks in his or her own way.鈥�

听So as I trot off on my holiday I鈥檒l give thanks; for the wholeness of this amazing world, for our mutual reliance, and for the work that makes my rest possible, from the tube driver who takes me to the airport to the cafe owner who makes me my first burrito.

听And I鈥檒l give thanks that when I come back, the man with the drill and the man sanding the floor might just have gone on their holidays too.
