Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought
From comedian & writer Paul Kerensa:听
I feel bad 鈥� the last 7 minutes of your run, Amol, and I鈥檓 going to take up two of them. So let鈥檚 pause for thought about the fine work you鈥檝e done on this summer job... and seasonal employment generally. While others holiday, many knuckle down for the summer break, possibly in a new line of work. So while Zo毛 has a Ball, we鈥檝e had a Rajan. I had different summer jobs in my day: the sorting room at the Post Office, or taking orders for swimming pool mosaics. Like the old kids cartoon Mr Benn, each week I鈥檇 be trying on different outfits, learning something new 鈥� I still know which coloured mosaics form the best dolphin display.听
Plus new social skills, hierarchies and routines... I reckon what we do in the summer can teach us differently to our regular way of things. Or it could be summer camps, time overseas, or new books read. Living at a different pace, or in a different place, can benefit us all, at any age. For me, it was on a teenage canal boat break that I first pondered God questions. I鈥檇 never have made that leap of faith in the logic of a schoolroom. But amid the bounteous nature of the Grand Union Canal, I sensed a bit of divine wonder, even if the sun was setting over a grey industrial estate.听
When I came back from that summer, I delved into Religious Studies, then a Theology degree 鈥� but that curiosity was sparked at that slower summer pace, of four miles per hour. Now as a parent, when we鈥檝e been away on holiday, we take the chance to move things on 鈥� tweaking bedtime routines, or dropping the nightlight, or one of the five cuddly toys (and that鈥檚 just for me). So perhaps the slower pace helps, or maybe it鈥檚 the change of scene. I think when we take things we鈥檝e gained in the summer, and bring them to our refreshed September lives, they鈥檙e like invisible souvenirs 鈥� reminders of how we鈥檝e changed for the better: new skills, new beliefs, a new pace or a new bedtime routine. We leave summer one academic year older, and perhaps one academic year wiser. I imagine your bedtime routine will change too Amol 鈥� so happy lie-ins to you. You can鈥檛 win 鈥榚m all 鈥� but we did. We won Amol. So thank you.I feel bad 鈥� the last 7 minutes of your run, Amol, and I鈥檓 going to take up two of them.
